Expert Opinions

Description
My name is Daniel Holmes and I am retired from the Minnesota State Patrol with nearly 27 years of experience.  While working for the Minnesota State Patrol I reconstructed over 170 serious or fatal crashes.  I have also investigated over 1,500 motor vehicle crashes that did not rise to the level of requiring a crash reconstruction.  In 2015, I was awarded the Minnesota State Patrol Award of Excellence in Crash Reconstruction for my work.

I am A.C.T.A.R. ( National Accreditation Commission for Traffic Accident Reconstruction) certified.  I am trained as a C.D.R. ( Crash Data Recorder) analyst-technician and have the ability to image and analyze the airbag data from supported vehicles.  I am a Forensic Mappist and have the ability to generate scaled diagrams from a scene or use mapping data obtained from Law Enforcement.  I am also trained in Occupant Kinematics, and have reconstructed several pedestrian/bicycle accidents along with commercial vehicle crashes.  I have a drone license and have the ability to take aerial photographs of the crash scene and vehicles. 

Since retiring from the Minnesota State Patrol I started Daniel Holmes Reconstruction LLC.  I have reconstructed several vehicle crashes, both criminal and civil.  I provide fair and impartial analysis from all of the evidence and have been hired by both plaintiff and defense council.
