A forensic survey is a survey that recreates an accident scene typical for a court case. All the elements of the accident are measured and located on the map. Details like grade, site distance, degree of curve, height are all details that will be shown. Another application of forensic survey might be to determine road grade or site distance to see if a speeding ticket meets the state’s requirements for local law enforcement running radar. This survey would be presented to a judge in a speeding ticket case.
