Services
Traffic Accident Reconstruction
Our engineers analyze vehicle collisions using event data recorders, surveillance footage, and physical evidence to determine causation and liability. We create detailed simulations and courtroom exhibits to clarify complex scenarios. Our work supports both plaintiff and defense cases in achieving favorable settlements.
Biomechanics Analysis
We assess injury mechanisms through biomechanical modeling and medical record review. Our experts correlate physical forces to trauma patterns to determine accident-related injuries. This analysis supports litigation involving falls, vehicle crashes, and product-related incidents.
Product Liability Evaluation
We investigate product failures and design defects using engineering standards and failure analysis. Our team evaluates compliance with safety regulations and provides expert opinions on product-related injuries. Services include testing, report preparation, and courtroom testimony.
Computer Simulation
We create 3D animations and finite element models to visualize accident dynamics and structural failures. These tools help juries understand technical details through scientifically accurate reconstructions. Our simulations meet Daubert admissibility standards.
Expert Testimony
Our engineers provide expert witness services in state and federal courts. We prepare demonstrative exhibits, defend analyses during depositions, and explain technical findings to lay audiences. Our staff has decades of courtroom experience across multiple engineering disciplines.
