Veteran-owned, investigator-led

Michael Kerley formed Kerley Reconstruction in 2024 after a career that began as a U.S. Army Military Police officer and accident reconstructionist, and continued through the Denver Police Department, the Colorado State Patrol and the Garden City Police Department, where he oversaw the Motorcycle and Traffic Accident Unit.

He is ACTAR accredited, a Drug Recognition Expert instructor and an SFST instructor, and he teaches accident and motorcycle reconstruction to officers and consultants through several training organizations. That standard of training runs through the whole team.

How we work with you

A clear, transparent process from the first call to the final report.

  1. Initial consultation

    It starts with a phone call or email. We schedule a consultation to discuss your case in detail.

  2. Conflict check

    Before we proceed, we run a conflict check. Once cleared, you receive a retainer agreement covering scope, timelines and fees.

  3. On-site investigation

    Our team documents the scene with photography and 3D mapping, collects physical evidence such as tire marks and debris, and inspects the vehicles involved.

  4. Data analysis

    We analyze vehicle data, telematics and witness statements, build models of the sequence of events, and apply physics-based calculations for speed and impact forces.

  5. Consultation and reporting

    We present our findings and advise on next steps, whether you need expert testimony, a detailed report or strategic recommendations.
