Services
Accident Reconstruction
Our certified reconstructionists analyze vehicle collisions using event data recorders, 3D laser scanning, and simulation software. We determine causation factors, vehicle dynamics, and occupant kinematics for legal proceedings. Our experts have handled over 1,000 cases involving complex multi-vehicle incidents and commercial transportation accidents.
Biomechanics Analysis
Board-certified biomechanists evaluate injury mechanisms through computational modeling and physical testing. We correlate accident forces with claimed injuries using MADYMO simulations and medical record analysis. Our work supports cases involving spinal trauma, traumatic brain injuries, and repetitive motion disorders.
Forensic Visualization
We create courtroom-ready animations and virtual reality exhibits using photogrammetry and LiDAR data. Our visualization team transforms complex technical findings into understandable visual narratives. This includes 360-degree scene reconstructions and interactive demonstrative evidence for litigation support.
Human Factors Evaluation
Our experts assess perceptual and cognitive factors in accident scenarios through visibility studies and reaction time testing. We evaluate warning effectiveness, device usability, and environmental distractions using eye-tracking technology and controlled experiments. This supports cases involving product liability and premises safety.
Marine Accident Analysis
Specialized team investigates watercraft collisions, allisions, and capsizing incidents. We analyze navigational data, weather conditions, and regulatory compliance using hydrodynamic modeling. Our marine experts have testified in cases involving propeller strikes, vessel design flaws, and operator error assessments.
