It was necessary to handle the aforementioned case with a passenger�s fall mainly based on the detected injuries, as the car did not stop at the scene of the accident and the location was neither documented nor closely identified. The article presents the procedures and results, as well as the method of injury parametrisation and localisation using the FORTIS system. It also includes the result of the whole investigation, which is the accurate determination of all relevant values and, consequently, a possibility to assess the entire case from a legal point of view.
