Scene Mapping and Diagraming
We at CARS, Inc. are constantly striving to provide our clients with professional
services by using the latest technology. To this end we have begun using laser mapping/surveying equipment to map
scenes. This allows us to produce diagrams that are accurate and make exceptional exhibits for trial, mediation
or both.
We do not limit our scenes to "automobile crash sites" but can do other
sites as well. If you need an area mapped, we can map it and produce a diagram to be used at mediation, trial or
both. Our mapping fee is $220/hr, which includes two mapping technicians. Scaled scene diagrams
are prepared from the scene mapping at a fee of $110.00/hr.
If you need a site mapped please call us to allow us to discuss your needs
and provide this professional and cost effective service.
