The Seedbed in Forensic Accidentology "JURIDICAL ACCIDENTOLOGY" emerges as a space for study and analysis dedicated to the scientific investigation of accidents and their impact in the forensic field. In a context where traffic, work and domestic accidents represent a constant concern for public safety and justice, this hotbed is established as a place to deepen the understanding of the causes and consequences of these events.
Made up of students and professionals interested in forensic science and road safety, the purpose of the seedbed is to contribute to the development of specialized knowledge in the area of accidentology, train future experts in the collection and analysis of evidence at the scene of the accident, and promote rigorous and ethical investigative practices in the study of accidents.
Accident Investigation and Analysis: The hotbed aims to investigate and analyze different types of accidents, such as traffic, work and domestic accidents, in order to identify their causes, characteristics and consequences. Through the study of practical cases and the application of forensic methodologies, participants will develop skills for the reconstruction and analysis of accidental events.
Training in Evidence Collection Techniques: The aim is to provide theoretical and practical training in evidence collection techniques at the scene of the accident. Participants will learn to identify and preserve relevant evidence, using appropriate forensic tools and protocols to ensure the integrity of the accident scene and the validity of the investigative results.
Application of Forensic Methods in Accident Investigation: The hotbed will promote the use of forensic methods and techniques in accident investigation, such as impact analysis, event reconstruction and injury evaluation. Participants will acquire knowledge about the tools and procedures used in accident investigation, thus contributing to the clarification of cases and the prevention of future events.
