Jeremiah Allen
Automotive Crash Expert
I am an accident reconstructionist with over a decade of law enforcement experience in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Since 2019, I have served as a detective specialized in fatality accident reconstruction and traffic crimes including hit-and-run, driving while intoxicated, and road rage incidents. I have excelled at resolving complex multi-disciplinary reconstructions. I have worked diligently to combine the fields of cellular forensics and accident reconstruction, leading to significant improvements in the identification and prosecution of distracted driving and felony hit-and-run cases. I am proud to have been a part of a significant restructuring of my agency’s traffic investigations unit that has led to a significant increase in the detection and prosecution of traffic homicides in both my jurisdiction as well as numerous others that have come to rely on my team’s expertise.
