SRI has developed a reputation of unmatched professional excellence for forensically accurate traffic collision investigation and reconstruction services. Since the establishment of SRI in 1998 our owner, Joey Stidham, has demanded that the investigators of SRI work diligently to uncover the crucial evidence in every case. We realize that this evidence may be found in any, each, or all of the three factors that cause traffic collisions to occur.
SRI uses state of the art methods, procedures, and technologies. We possess certification in the field of crash reconstruction and multiple other credentials, and are trusted by over 500 attorneys in the state of Kentucky.
Joey Stidham, Owner/Advanced Traffic Collision Reconstructionist
SRI’s owner, Joey Stidham, began his traffic collision reconstruction career as a trooper for the Kentucky State Police. This provided knowledge and experience in determining why and how accidents occur. During his tenure with the KSP Joey was on the scene of thousands of traffic collisions observing the physical evidence, how the occupants reacted before, during, and after the collision, the injuries the occupants received in relation to the collision forces, and the damage to the vehicles. In 1998 Joey left the Kentucky State Police to launch SRI. Since the inception of SRI, Joey has made the commitment to invest in the necessary technology and training to make sure SRI is on the cutting edge of technology in every field, including traffic reconstruction, forensic mapping, 3-D animation, ability to image truck technologies, and ability to image automobile technologies. Joey has the highest level of training offered by the Institute of Police Technologies and Management of North Florida University. He has been qualified as an expert by multiple courts, both state and federal, and in numerous areas in the field of traffic reconstruction. Since the inception of the SRI, Joey Stidham has always incorporated all violations of the rules of the road in every report.

Bob Sheffield, Traffic Crash Reconstructionist
I have been employed in the Public Safety field since 1993 until recently retiring from the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department, Nashville TN, on March 15, 2019. I was assigned to the Special Operations Division / Fatal Crash Investigations Unit as a supervisor in 2005 and worked at that assignment until my retirement.
Curriculum Vitae
Testimonial
“We recently hired SRI for an animation project on a complex police pursuit crash case. I’ve had a dozen or so animations done previously by multiple reconstruction firms across the country. The product put together by Joey and his team was, without question, the most visually impressive, accurate and thorough animation I’ve ever seen. His team spent hours with me learning the case, mapping and photographing the scene both on the ground and aerially with drone images, reviewed deposition testimony (and even embedded powerful impeachment audio into one of the renderings), created identical models of the police cruisers and client vehicle, reviewed police dash cam and photos and created a scene which looked identical to the real-life location. Joey was quick to point out which camera angles would enhance the perception of speed and which angles would show the best contradiction between the officers’ testimony and the data from the cruiser’s black box download. This project allowed our team to resolve a very difficult case at mediation for an amount that was more than double the client’s expectations. I honestly expected to receive an invoice for services that was higher than I’d ever been charged before on projects, but I couldn’t have been more wrong. What I thought was just the initial SRI retainer on the animation project was actually a flat fee cost; all of the incredible services were just part of the package. Thank you tons SRI. I cannot wait to do dozens more of these with you guys!”
