Additional Capabilities
In addition to core services, Gerald McDevitt provides specialized support across a range of complex investigative scenarios.
Emergency Vehicle Operations Analysis
Emergency vehicle operations analysis evaluates response driving, pursuit conditions, and incident dynamics within agency policies and accepted practices. Gerald McDevitt applies scientifically accepted methodologies to assess vehicle dynamics, driver actions, warning device usage, and roadway conditions.
The analysis provides clear, court-ready findings to determine whether the response met established standards and operational guidelines.
Biomechanical & Injury Analysis
Gerald McDevitt performs occupant kinematics analysis — determining occupant position, movement, and seating during the collision sequence, including driver identification — as part of the standard reconstruction methodology. Human factors analysis, including perception-reaction time and driver behavior evaluation, is also within his scope of practice. For cases requiring injury causation analysis or biomechanical body modeling, McDevitt and Associates, Inc. coordinates with qualified biomechanical specialists identified and approved by retaining counsel.
Cold Case Reconstruction
Older cases often rely on limited and outdated materials—typically photographs, witness statements, police reports, and other historical records. Reconstructing a complex incident from such information using modern techniques presents a unique challenge. Gerald McDevitt specializes in analyzing these “cold cases” by applying advanced reconstruction methods to legacy evidence. Through careful interpretation and the use of current technology, he provides clear, evidence-based insights that help bring long-standing questions into focus.
Critical Incident Response
Rapid deployment is available for time-sensitive incidents where immediate documentation is essential to preserve perishable evidence. This includes on-scene measurements, photographic documentation, and preliminary analysis before conditions change. Early involvement ensures that critical data is captured accurately, allowing for a more reliable reconstruction and supporting attorneys with defensible findings from the earliest stages of an investigation.
Data Integration & Analysis
All available data sources—including scene measurements, vehicle damage, EDR data, and digital mapping—are integrated into a unified analytical framework. This comprehensive approach ensures that conclusions are based on the totality of evidence rather than isolated data points. The result is a clear, consistent reconstruction supported by multiple independent data sources and validated methodologies.
Nationwide & Remote Case Support
Services are available nationwide, with the ability to support cases both in-person and remotely. Remote consultation, data review, and analysis allow for efficient case handling regardless of location. When required, on-site deployment can be arranged to ensure accurate scene documentation. This flexibility enables timely support for attorneys and agencies across multiple jurisdictions.
Technology-Driven Analysis
Gerald McDevitt utilizes advanced forensic technology, including Recon3D LiDAR scanning, Total Station surveying equipment, Emlid RS3 GNSS, UAV/Drone Photogrammetry, and Racelogic VBOX GPS data logger for speed and motion data tools. These technologies ensure precision, reliability, and defensible results.
