Jacob Quarrell
Forensic Expert - Accident Reconstruction
El Paso, TX
Mr. Quarrell has 3 years of experience working as a forensic expert in accident reconstruction. He investigates and reconstructs traffic crashes involving passenger and commercial vehicles, motorcycles, pedestrians, and bicycles. For these cases he conducts scene inspections which involve gathering data through photography, aerial drone photography, 3D scene documentation and video drive through. Vehicle inspections involve photography, 3D scanning and event data retrieval via computer download. Information gathered during inspections is then analyzed back at the office and a full reconstruction can then be put together.
