Felix Lee, MS PE, Accident Reconstruction Expert - Los Angeles

Felix Lee is the Principal Engineer at Collision Reconstruction Consulting LLC, an accident reconstruction expert consulting firm in Los Angeles.  Mr. Lee holds a Master of Science (MS) degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), is a licensed Professional Engineer (PE) in California, and a Unmanned Aircraft Systems (i.e. drone) pilot through the Federal Aviation Administration.

Mr. Lee specializes in motor vehicle accident reconstruction.  He has analyzed over 1,200 transportation-related incidents over the past decade. Mr. Lee investigates and reconstructs collisions involving passenger cars, commercial trucks, vans, buses, motorcycles, bicycles, and pedestrians. He has experience conducting engineering assessments of impact severity, vehicle speed and dynamics, collision sequence, occupant movement, damage matching, driver avoidance potential, event data recorders (EDRs), seat belt usage, airbag deployment, and rollover analysis. Mr. Lee conducts vehicle inspections of components including airbags, seatbelt, seats, and tires to evaluate the potential origin and cause of failure. He also examines collisions sites and documents evidence using total stations, drones, and laser scanners.

Mr. Lee is proficient in modeling vehicle motion during collisions using physics-based computer simulation programs including PC-Crash and HVE. In addition, he is qualified in the retrieval and interpretation of electronic data from passenger vehicle and heavy truck EDRs (i.e. “black box”). Mr. Lee has published peer-reviewed technical papers and served as a peer reviewer for the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE). Recently, he has co-authored a series of publications quantifying the accuracy and recording behavior of Toyota airbag control modules.
