Services
Accident Reconstruction
Our accident reconstruction specialists analyze vehicle collisions using physics and engineering principles to determine causation factors. We examine skid marks, vehicle damage, and EDR data to recreate incidents with scientific precision. Our experts provide courtroom-ready animations and diagrams to clearly demonstrate findings.
Biomechanics Analysis
Biomechanics experts evaluate injury mechanisms through force analysis and human body response studies. We assess automobile accidents, slip/trip incidents, and product-related injuries using physics and biomedical engineering principles. Our reports establish causal relationships between accidents and specific injuries.
Human Factors Evaluation
We investigate how human capabilities and limitations contribute to accidents. Our analysis covers visibility issues, reaction times, and environmental factors affecting decision-making. This includes evaluating product design flaws and workplace safety hazards through psychological and physiological perspectives.
Product Liability Assessment
Our engineers conduct failure analysis and safety evaluations for consumer products. We determine manufacturing defects, design flaws, and warranty issues using statistical methods. Expert testimony explains complex technical findings in accessible terms for legal proceedings.
Traffic Engineering
Registered traffic engineers analyze roadway design and highway safety standards. We assess construction zone hazards, crosswalk incidents, and signal timing issues using MUTCD guidelines. Our experts provide evidence-based recommendations for accident prevention and infrastructure improvements.
