About Joseph Tremblay

Mr. Tremblay is a Licensed Professional Engineer and accident reconstruction expert with extensive experience analyzing complex collisions involving passenger vehicles, pedestrians, bicyclists, commercial trucks, trains, off-road vehicles, motorcycles, ski and snowboard accidents, recreational watercraft, construction machinery, and heavy equipment. As a leader and principal engineer at Veritech Consulting Engineering, he specializes in applying engineering mechanics, 3D computer simulations, event data recorder (EDR) downloads, 3D laser scanning, photogrammetry, and dash-camera video analysis—to determine how and why crashes occur.Mr. Tremblay has investigated hundreds of cases, working closely with attorneys and insurers to deliver clear, concise findings. His expertise includes mechanical engineering, vehicle dynamics, occupant kinematics, visibility analysis, human factors, design analysis, and failure analysis. He is qualified to assess slip, trip, and fall accidents related to premises liability. Additionally, for product liability matters, he analyzes component and system failures, evaluating design and manufacturing defects, and assesses whether products performed as intended under real-world conditions. He is known for translating highly technical information into concise, easy-to-understand conclusions that support the litigation strategies of his clients in both written format, and for deposition and trial testimony.In addition to his casework, Mr. Tremblay is an active public speaker, frequently presenting on engineering topics as a guest on podcasts such as Crime Stories With Nancy Grace, and online forums such as the National Academy of Forensic Engineers. As a former college level instructor, his presentations have been used for educational purposes and for continuing education qualification to clients within the industry.

   Mr. Tremblay has experience reconstructing motor vehicle accidents including those involving passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles, trains, motorcycles, off highway vehicles, non-motorized vehicles, and pedestrians. Mr. Tremblay has investigated accidents involving single and multiple vehicles to determine the cause and sequence of events during collisions and has evaluated physical evidence, tire skid marks, photographs, scratch patterns, paint transfer markings, roadway debris, vehicle rest positions, and witness testimony to aid in determining collision sequences. In addition, Mr. Tremblay has analyzed vehicle roll-over dynamics associated with changing trajectories, as well as the change in roll-over dynamics as the vehicle surfaces contact the pathway surface and has analyzed vehicular scratch patterns related to roll-over accidents for collision evidence such as vehicle trajectory, number of rolls, trip point, and vehicle-surface decelerations. Mr. Tremblay constantly utilizes state-of-the-art technology to aid in developing accident scene information and vehicle dynamics. Mr. Tremblay has utilized tools such unmanned aerial vehicles (drones), laser total stations, photogrammetric modeling, and image rectification to aid in determining vehicle crush damage as well as accident scene measurements. Computer simulation programs capable of three dimensional dynamic modeling are used by Mr. Tremblay to create accurate models of vehicular collision damage and accident site terrain. Information gathered from computerized data associated with the accident is used in developing animations, depictions, court exhibits, and other visual aids to assist in conveying details of the accident in an accurate and easy-to-understand manner.
