Daniel Holmes

I retired from the Minnesota State Patrol in June of 2015 with nearly 27 years of experience.  While working for the Minnesota State Patrol I reconstructed over 170  serious or fatal crashes.  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 am a licensed drone pilot and can provide aerial photographs. 

Since retiring, I have reconstructed several accidents in both criminal and civil cases.  I offer fair and impartial analysis of the evidence and have been hired by both plaintiff and defendants alike in civil and criminal cases.
