Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

Accident reconstruction is but one phase of road traffic fatality (RTF) cases. Even as police officers draw their last diagram, interview their last witness, and reconstruct their final scenario, a different team of investigators works diligently on solving another puzzle: determining how the victims actually died. This atlas covers the issues that face medical examiners and coroners in determining the nature and extent of RTF injuries as well as the cause, manner, and circumstances of death. It covers everything from "typical road traffic fatality injuries" to "injuries caused by safety/restraint devices" and "autopsy and toxicology testing."
