Collision & Incident Investigations
Conflicting accounts, missing evidence or an incident that needs more than an internal summary?
Discuss this instruction ↗
Ghosthawk can preserve and review the available evidence, identify and speak to witnesses, build the chronology, test competing accounts and coordinate specialist technical input where the evidence requires it.
How the instruction develops
Preserve the evidence. Build the chronology. Add specialist input only where needed.
The exact method can change as the evidence develops, but the objective, authority and professional phase remain clear. Further work is only added where it would materially advance the instruction.
Preserve and frame the evidence
Identify what material exists, what may be lost and the questions the investigation needs to answer.
Build and test the chronology
Review records, vehicle data the client can lawfully provide, video and witness accounts, then compare them against the emerging sequence of events.
Bring in specialist technical input where needed
Commission or coordinate qualified reconstruction, vehicle examination, event data recorder (EDR) analysis or other technical analysis only where the case genuinely requires it.
What you receive
A usable outcome — not just activity.
The output is a structured factual investigation record; specialist reconstruction or expert engineering opinion is commissioned separately where needed.
Factual chronology
A structured account of the incident built from the available records, accounts, imagery and other relevant evidence.
Evidence assessment
Identified consistencies, conflicts, gaps and further enquiries relevant to the issues the client needs resolved.
Investigation report
Findings and limitations, including clear identification of any question that requires a separately qualified forensic or technical expert.
Defined scope
Clear scope before work starts.
Ghosthawk agrees what the instruction or authorised phase is intended to establish and the professional effort included before work begins.
Investigation scopes
Alternative scopes selected according to evidence volume, the number of parties and the complexity of the factual questions.
Reconstruction, engineering, event data recorder (EDR) analysis and other specialist expert work is separately scoped where it is genuinely required.
Methods that may be relevant
Use only what the instruction needs.
The service is not a checklist of techniques. Methods are selected because they help answer the agreed question, not simply because they are available.
