Abstract
Injury and death can occur in association with any form of transport, but road traffic accidents account for the great majority worldwide, causing approximately 1.19 million deaths each year. It is important to point out that traffic accidents cause the catastrophic consequences on individuals, their families and society as a whole, both in fatal and non-fatal cases. The thorough and adequate medico-legal investigation determines all external and internal injuries as a consequence of traffic accidents, it includes collecting of all biological and other important traces on the victim, and enables the reconstructing the manner in which the traffic accident took place. In that way forensic experts help the prosecutors and the courts to properly determine whether there is any criminal responsibility of a person for the resulting traffic accident and injury to the participants, thus exercising the rights of victims of criminal offenses against public traffic safety.
