Our Investigations Team

Ben Phelps is accredited by A.C.T.A.R., the Accreditation Commission for Traffic Accident Reconstruction. Ben performs accident reconstructions specializing in new technologies in the industry. These include downloading, interpreting and analyzing data from Event Data Recorders - Electronic Control Modules (ECM) in commercial motor vehicles, Airbag Control Modules in passenger vehicles as well as the many other “black box”-type technologies in vehicles that supply data that relates to crash investigation.

In addition, he simulates collisions using state-of-the-art, three-dimensional, physics-based software. Ben’s 18 years of law enforcement experience, which includes collisions investigated on-scene, lends additional perspective to collision analysis and police investigations.

Crash Consulting Services, LLC utilizes the latest technology to capture collision site evidence with a Sokkia Total Station, a Global Positioning Satellite Real Time Kinematic system for precision measurements, and a Faro 3D Scanner. This allows evidence to be presented via computer graphics as well as high-resolution 3D printing of roadways, vehicles, and roadside objects.

He is a licensed pilot and performs work nationwide and holds Private Investigator licenses where applicable.  This includes: Illinois (115-002404), Indiana (PI21100049}, and Texas (A19419).  Most states do not require a license due to national accreditation.
