Abstract:
Forensic medical examinations are a critical
component of forensic investigations, comprising 75–80%
of all forensic cases in Kazakhstan. Of these, post-mortem
forensic examinations account for 35–45%, representing
a substantial portion of the workload. The complexity
of post-mortem forensic examinations, especially those
involving traumatic injuries and criminal cases, often
poses significant challenges in the organization of such
investigations. A review of scientific literature on forensic
medical examinations emphasizes studies focused on
post-mortem investigations, particularly in the context
of road traffic accidents, and discusses the organizational
aspects and related challenges [1, 2, 3].
Road traffic accidents are a significant medical
and social issue, not only in Kazakhstan but globally,
contributing to high rates of traumatic injuries. Injuries
resulting from road traffic accidents are classified as
severe due to their significant socio-economic impact.
Literature data indicate that 60–70% of fatalities resulting
from road traffic accidents occur among individuals
of working age. This underscores the importance of
conducting comprehensive research into the procedural
foundations of post-mortem forensic examinations in road
traffic accident cases.
