Investigation of Road Traffic Fatalities (Causes of Death Atlas) Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

This atlas covers the issues that face medical examiners and coroners in determining the nature and extent of road traffic fatality injuries as well as the cause, manner, and circumstances of death. It covers everything from "typical road traffic fatality injuries" to "injuries caused by safety/restraint devices" and "autopsy and toxicology testing."

Book News Annotation:

Comprised 75% of horrific b&w photos of road traffic fatalities (RTFs), this atlas is intended for medical examiners/coroners, medico- legal death investigators, and law enforcement personnel responsible for determining the cause, manner, and circumstances of death. Issues considered by three medical examiners/professors of forensic pathology include: who does what, typical RTF injuries, and common but critical investigative mistakes. Lacks an index.
Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Synopsis:

The screech of rubber against asphalt. And then the crash: a violent two-car collision resulting in a twisted mass of metal, plastic, and glass-and worse, the deaths of both drivers.

Accident reconstruction is but one phase of road traffic fatality (RTF) cases. Even as police officers draw their last diagram, interview their last witness, and reconstruct their final scenario, a different team of investigators works diligently on solving another puzzle: determining how the victims actually died.

Investigation of Road Traffic Fatalities: An Atlas covers the issues that face medical examiners and coroners in determining the nature and extent of RTF injuries as well as the cause, manner, and circumstances of death. Also ideal for medicolegal death investigators and law enforcement personnel who work with medical examiners and coroners during RTF investigations, this Atlas covers everything from Typical road traffic fatality injuries to Injuries caused by safety/restraint devices and Autopsy and toxicology testing.

For anyone involved in RTF probes, Investigation of Road Traffic Fatalities: An Atlas is essential reading.
