Abstract
The article provides the basics of solving the task of establishing the causal relationship of damage to wheeled vehicles with the event that led to their occurrence. The methodological approaches addressed in the article can be used in the compendium of forensic vehicle commodity methods currently being developed by the Department of vehicle commodity examination of the RFCFS named after professor A.R. Shlyakhov of the Ministry of Justice of Russia.
