Services
Accident Reconstruction
Our accident reconstruction service investigates vehicle collisions using physical evidence, witness statements, and advanced software to determine causation factors. Engineers analyze crash dynamics, vehicle trajectories, and environmental conditions to provide expert opinions for legal proceedings. This service supports insurance claims and litigation by clarifying how accidents occurred.
Crash Data Retrieval
We extract and interpret data from vehicle event data recorders (EDRs) using Bosch, Hyundai, Kia, and Tesla CDR kits. This service recovers critical information like speed, braking, and airbag deployment timing to support accident investigations. Our engineers provide detailed reports that meet legal admissibility standards for court proceedings.
Expert Witness Testimony
Our licensed engineers offer expert witness testimony in state and federal courts, explaining technical findings in accessible terms. This service includes preparation of demonstrative exhibits, depositions, and courtroom presentations to clarify complex engineering concepts for judges and juries.
FARO Scanning
We use FARO laser scanning technology to create precise 3D models of accident scenes and vehicle damage. This service provides measurable digital reconstructions that enhance case visualization for legal teams. The data supports spatial analysis and serves as courtroom evidence in personal injury and product liability cases.
Product Liability Analysis
Our engineers evaluate product failures in automotive components and consumer goods using metallurgical testing and stress analysis. This service identifies design flaws, manufacturing defects, and misuse factors to determine liability. Findings are presented through technical reports and expert testimony for litigation support.
