This means that at least 10 thousand families are estimated to suffer from such a loss. The loss that cannot be expressed in terms of money and in numbers is hard to calculate. Every accident that occurs affects and involves civil, criminal and administrative responsibility. Whatever evidence collected or documents recorded by the police officers during the scene of the accident are crucial to future reference. It is important that the evidence and records collected during the accident can match the statement of the victim during the questioning. If the evidence is properly collected it can be used to prove or better understand the events of the accident. Witness of scene or the victim may at times distort the truth, but the evidence collected cannot be distorted. During the investigation of any case, the evidence and materials collected can be compared to shed some truth on the event of the accident.
A research has been conducted in Kaohsiung city government police bureau traffic corps in order to improve the quality and standards of handling car accident cases and clearly analyze the situation in Kaohsiung and also compare foreign data to better understand the issues that cause this problem. Well-developed countries such as Japan and the U.S. have already developed advanced systems, procedures and organization in this area and their expertise will be applied to better analyze the problem in Taiwan. A survey will be conducted towards traffic police officers, accident victims, forensic department, prosecutors and experts. This survey will be used to improve the quality and strategy of every traffic accident investigation.
The results of this survey will be used to analyze how Kaohsiung can improve and establish a traffic forensic committee, improve the education and training and also develop improved equipment. Furthermore regulations and policies on how accident cases are handling will be improved.
