Failure Analysis
When an aircraft, vehicle, or any piece of industrial equipment fails, people's lives and livelihoods are at risk.  You must obtain the facts about the cause of the failure.  Was it in the design of the product? Maintenance?  Inappropriate usage?  Whatever the question, we’ll find the answer.  With our years of experience we bring to the table impeccable credentials, exhaustive investigative thoroughness, and objectivity above advocacy.   Contact us today for assistance in any of the following areas.


Product Failure Analysis and Product Liability Determination
Professional Engineer, Mark Lewis, using stereo microscope to perform engineering analysis. We do not assume to know the answer. The truth is found in the materials. Utilizing forensic engineering and analytical techniques, we pinpoint the cause of the mechanical or metallurgical failure.


Our processes, methods, and tools, honed over the years, enable us to find the answers quickly and efficiently.

Accident Reconstruction and Computer Modeling

Reproduction of small airplane engine blockRecreating the incident provides added confidence in the findings and strength to your case.  When possible to do so, we perform accident reconstruction using one or both of the following methods:

  • Physical Reconstruction using same or similar components
  • Computer Modeling and Simulation

In either case an accurate representation of the systems and conditions prior to the accident are recreated and the details are fully documented within our report.

 

Engineering Expert Witness Services
Professional Engineer, Rick Baron, providing expert witness testimony. Clear, concise communication is the essential requirement of an Expert Witness. We take pride in our ability to clearly convey our findings to persons of any background and level of understanding.
