...Paul works in collaboration with counsel, accident reconstruction, human factor, and other specialized experts to fairly and accurately reconstruct incidents for fact finding, documentation and evidentiary purposes. Paul specializes in conducting and documenting visibility studies. A visibility study is the assessment and accurate recording, processing, and presentation of still or motion images, typically of a daytime or nighttime scene. A visibility study is meant to document the ability of an event participant’s ability to visually detect a stimulus. Daytime, nighttime, and low light visibility studies use photographic, video and metric data capture of controlled tests to document scene elements impacting visibility such as: lighting, contrast, glare, occlusions, conspicuity and anomalies....

...Traffic accidents where a driver could have been interacting with their cell phone at the time of the collision. Michael's expertise covers downloading and examining the phone's data as well as associated Call Detail Records (CDRs) from the wireless carrier. If applicable, he can download the data from the infotainment system in the car and provide a report for an accident reconstruction expert to use as part of their analysis. The infotainment system is a newer system which overlaps with mobile phone forensics. This system can store detailed vehicle location and velocity records for entire trips going back days and not just the last few seconds like EDR data. It can also include phone pairing records to show whether a phone was connected to the car and when it was in use. Typical cases involve a heavy truck or commercial vehicle crash.
