We obtain and analyze:

• Traffic signal timing sheets
• Phase diagrams
• Coordination schedules
• Signal sequence charts
• Yellow and all-red clearance intervals
• Pedestrian timing intervals
• Protected and permissive turn phases

Understanding the programmed sequence allows attorneys to evaluate right-of-way conflicts and reaction time factors.

We conduct detailed intersection evaluations, including:

• Signal head placement and visibility
• Line-of-sight analysis
• Signage documentation
• Roadway markings
• Detection system review (loops, cameras, sensors)
• Construction or temporary traffic control conditions

Visual obstructions and design factors are often critical in liability determinations.

We assist in obtaining and reviewing:

• Maintenance and service logs
• Work orders
• Malfunction reports
• Signal retiming records
• Jurisdictional responsibility documentation
• Contractor agreements (if applicable)

Improper maintenance or known malfunctions can significantly affect municipal or third-party liability.

Where applicable, we evaluate:

• Emergency vehicle preemption events
• Railroad preemption systems
• Adaptive traffic control systems
• Temporary overrides
• Construction zone signal modifications

These factors can alter normal signal sequencing and must be examined carefully.

Using retrieved documentation and site analysis, we prepare:

• Clear phase sequence explanations
• Timing interval breakdowns
• Event timelines aligned with crash time
• Visual diagrams for legal presentation

Our goal is to provide attorneys with understandable, defensible documentation that integrates seamlessly into litigation strategy.

Every case includes:

• Organized documentation packages
• Clear explanatory summaries
• Photographic logs
• Phase diagrams and timing breakdowns
• Coordination with accident reconstruction experts when necessary

Our reporting is prepared with courtroom presentation and deposition scrutiny in mind.
