Accident Reconstruction Course (8 Hours)

Evidence-Based Accident Reconstruction Training for Doctors Who Treat Trauma

Who This Course Is For

This program is ideal for:

• Chiropractors

• Medical providers

• Trauma-focused clinicians

• PI and MVC treating doctors

• Providers who want to strengthen documentation and causation

• Clinicians who want to communicate more effectively with attorneys and co-treaters

• Doctors seeking credible CE/CME-accredited education

Turn crash physics into clinical certainty.
The Accident Reconstruction Course is an 8-hour, doctor-focused program designed to give you a working expertise in motor vehicle collision analysis—so you can better determine injury origin, injury mechanism, and causality in real-world trauma cases.

This isn’t training built for engineers or law enforcement. This is accident reconstruction for clinicians who need a practical, defensible way to connect collision dynamics to diagnosis, documentation, and patient outcomes.

✅ Online | 8 hours | 4 Modules
✅ CE (Chiropractic) + CME (Medical) approvals (where online education is authorized)
✅ Built for chiropractors, medical providers, and trauma-focused clinicians
✅ Strengthen your role in medical-legal cases, PI, and co-treatment collaboration

Why Accident Reconstruction Matters for Your Clinical Outcomes (and Your Credibility)

Your patients don’t get injured by “an accident.” They get injured by forces, vectors, acceleration/deceleration, and energy transfer.

When you understand accident dynamics and causality, you gain a diagnostic and documentation advantage that helps you:

• Identify injury mechanisms you might otherwise miss

• Improve clinical accuracy and treatment planning

• Document causation with greater confidence and clarity

• Communicate more effectively with attorneys, medical specialists, and co-treating providers

• Support your conclusions with evidence-based reasoning and peer-reviewed research

In a world where “the MRI is normal” gets weaponized against injured patients, credentials and verified expertise matter.

Designed for Doctors: Bridge Clinical Care + the Physics of Trauma

Most clinicians were never trained to interpret:

• Skid marks

• Crush profiles

• Crumple zones

• Velocity/time/distance relationships

• Energy transfer and occupant kinematics

But these are often the missing link between:

• “I don’t know how they got hurt…” and

• “Here is the clinical and biomechanical basis of injury with clear causality.”

This course gives you a framework you can apply immediately—whether you’re documenting a routine MVC injury or supporting a complex medical-legal case.

What Makes This Course Different

✅ Built for Clinical Application

Every concept is taught through the lens of how it impacts patient injury and clinical decision-making.

✅ Causality + Documentation That Holds Up

You’ll learn not only the science, but also the documentation and language that supports defensible causation.

✅ Credentialed, Recognized, Respected

Graduates earn education backed by CE/CME approvals across states that authorize online education—supporting credibility with:

• Attorneys

• Medical specialists

• Medical primary care providers

• Co-treating professionals

• Insurers and claims reviewers

Course Breakdown (8 Hours Total)

Module 1 — Foundational Principles: Terms, Concepts & Core Definitions (2 Hours)

Build a strong foundation of accident reconstruction terminology and concepts that support trauma, biomechanics, and injury analysis, including:

• Key definitions used in reconstruction and causation

• Foundational trauma biomechanics principles

• Injury mechanism basics for MVC cases

• How reconstruction terminology translates into clinical clarity

Module 2 — Causality & the Dynamics of Injury: Force, Crumple Zones & Critical Documentation (2 Hours)

Understand causality through physics, force transfer, and vehicle structure—then translate it into clinically relevant conclusions:

• Force transfer and how bodies absorb impact

• Vehicle crumple zones and crash energy management

• Connecting collision dynamics to clinical findings

• Documentation that supports medical-legal causation

• Why “minor impact” language often fails clinically—and how to respond with science

Module 3 — Forensic Accident Reconstruction: Skid Marks, Time, Distance, Velocity & Speed Calculations (2 Hours)

Gain real-world reconstruction skills that enhance your ability to correlate crash characteristics with injury risk:

• Skid mark basics and braking dynamics

• Time/distance/velocity calculations

• Speed and collision event interpretation

• How reconstruction data correlates to tissue trauma and patient outcomes

• Translating “math and physics” into clear clinical reasoning

Module 4 — Evidence-Based Correlation: Research, Causality & Bodily Injury (2 Hours)

Strengthen your ability to defend your conclusions using peer-reviewed research and evidence-based reasoning:

• Integrating biomechanics research with clinical findings

• Establishing causality between trauma and injury

• Building defensible injury narratives

• Supporting conclusions with credible, research-based sources

• Strengthening collaboration with attorneys and medical teams

 Outcomes You Can Expect

By the end of this course, you’ll be able to:

✅ Explain collision dynamics in clinically meaningful terms
✅ Identify and document injury mechanisms with greater precision
✅ Connect accident reconstruction concepts to diagnosis and clinical findings
✅ Use defensible causality language supported by science
✅ Improve case clarity for attorneys, insurers, and co-treating professionals
✅ Strengthen your role as a credible, evidence-based trauma provider

FAQs — Accident Reconstruction Course

1) How long is the Accident Reconstruction Course?

The program is 8 hours total, divided into four 2-hour modules.

2) Is this course meant for engineers or law enforcement?

No. This is accident reconstruction training tailored specifically for doctors, with a focus on clinical application, diagnosis, and causality.

3) Will this help with PI documentation and injury causation?

Yes. The course is built to strengthen your ability to document and explain mechanism of injury, injury origin, and causality in a defensible, evidence-based way.

4) Do I need a physics or math background?

No. The course teaches calculations and core concepts in an accessible, clinically relevant format. You’ll learn what you need to apply the information confidently.

5) What topics are covered?

Key topics include:

• causality and force transfer

• vehicle crumple zones

• skid mark analysis

• speed/time/distance/velocity calculations

• evidence-based correlation to bodily injury

• documentation that supports medical-legal standards

6) Is the course accredited?

This program carries CE (chiropractic) and CME (medical) accreditation approvals across every state that authorizes online education.

7) Will this course improve how attorneys and medical professionals view my conclusions?

That’s one of the major benefits. Verified education and credible methodology help your conclusions earn greater trust and respect in interdisciplinary and medical-legal settings.

8) How is this course different from general trauma training?

Most trauma training focuses on clinical management. This course connects clinical decision-making to accident physics and reconstruction principles, strengthening the “why” behind injury mechanisms and your documentation.

9) Does this course teach how to reconstruct a crash independently?

You’ll gain a working expertise in crash analysis and foundational reconstruction concepts to interpret and explain crash dynamics. It’s designed for clinical application—not to replace full-time reconstruction specialists, but to elevate your medical causation and injury analysis capabilities.

10) How quickly can I apply what I learn?

Immediately. The course is structured so you can apply concepts to:

• clinical evaluations

• mechanism-of-injury documentation

• case narratives

• interdisciplinary communication
