Brief Course Description:

This CLE course is designed to teach attorneys about perception response time issues that may arise in their cases.

Attorneys have expressed interest in understanding whether or not an involved party was attentive and responsive to a hazard. Often times we do not have the information to know precisely when a party first recognizes a hazard. With basic information and a proper crash reconstruction, we can compare what actions a person took, and the timing of those actions, to the actions that an average driver would have taken when presented with similar circumstances. This is helpful to understand whether the response was appropriate and timely.
