Snowmobile and ATV Accident Investigation and Reconstruction, Second Edition
A Technical and Legal Guide
by Richard Hermance. ACTAR (1995)
Contributing Authors: Leon Kazarian, Randy Shively, Marlissa Kazarian, David B. Spiegler, and Norman J. Macdonald The
increased popularity of snowmobile and ATV use in recent years has
resulted in a rise in related accidents and injuries. Reconstruction
of these types of accidents poses a unique challenge due to their
nature and the lack of data available to investigators. This new
edition of a groundbreaking text is the most complete of its kind
in the area of snowmobile and ATV accident reconstruction and litigation.
You'll find
detailed reference material covering the technical aspects of snowmobile
and ATV product design, performance, mechanical operation, safety,
trail design and administration, maintenance, mapping and accident
investigation and reconstruction. You will also find information
on human factors issues such as driver training, speed, use of helmets
and protective clothing, compensation for weather conditions, and
driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs. You will also
gain much information on snowmobile and ATV law, as this book contains
the most complete summary of law, tactics and pleadings regarding
snowmobile and ATV accidents ever published.
In developing
this book, the author, a nationally recognized and accredited snowmobile
and ATV accident reconstruction expert and instructor, and his team
conducted extensive dynamic tests with snowmobiles and ATVs and
related equipment. They also conducted extensive interviews of those
involved in the snowmobile and ATV industry including snowmobile
and ATV users, designers, manufacturers, trainers, mechanics, accident
reconstructionists and investigators, law enforcement personnel
and attorneys. They also extensively researched accident reports,
court cases and legislation relating to snowmobiles and ATVs in
both the United States and Canada to compile the most complete snowmobile
and ATV law reference available. A CD-ROM with additional information,
resources and databases for snowmobile and ATV accident reconstruction
is included with the book. If you are involved in a snowmobile or
ATV accident case or concerned with snowmobile and ATV safety in
any form, this book will be a very helpful and necessary addition
to your library.
