Craig C Wilkinson
Principal, Senior Engineer
Transportation and Product Groups

Craig Wilkinson conducts technical investigations for motor vehicle accident reconstruction, failure analysis, slip and fall incidents and contract research files.

Since joining the firm in 1999, Mr. Wilkinson has been involved in over 1000 investigations of passenger cars, bicycles, motorcycles, pedestrians, golf cart, and commercial vehicle collisions. Past cases have examined impact severity, vehicle speed, seatbelt use and effectiveness, and issues related to pedestrians, night-time visibility and event data recorders. Mr. Wilkinson also has expertise in the field of materials engineering, which he applies to failure analysis and fracture mechanics cases.
