This article highlights some issues regarding the mechanism of injuries in a collision with a pedestrian side of the moving vehicle. It is shown that the mechanism of injuries and movement of the body in different phases of the accident, the collision of the pedestrian with the lateral surface of the car first of all affect vehicle speed, depending on which motion vectors participants of the event may vary depending on their weight. In determining the mechanism of injuries, forensic expert should know sectional morphological picture of the various types of automobile injuries and pursue their differentiation. Also, the full use of the additional (laboratory) study of clothing and footwear and analyze the criminal proceedings (examination of the body was discovered, a review of the vehicle, and the results autotechnical trasological examinations). In this case, a forensic expert should not give priority to macro or microscopic research methods, they must be skillfully and efficiently combine before making a final decision.
