Questions to the Occupational Health and Safety expert and their responses

How fast was the truck going when it hit the plaintiff?

Determining speed depends entirely on what evidence there is available, unless an ECM (blackbox) output has been obtained. Even without an ECM, there is a good probability of determining speed.

where did the plaintiff make an impact with the truck?

I specifically handle 3D computer simulations/animations of auto versus bicycle accidents.
