Services:
Investigation Investigations are as varied as the events themselves and are tailored to appropriately address the matter at hand. They create the foundation for piecing together the series of events, and developing hypotheses as to what occurred and why.
Testing/Analysis We perform a variety of tests for our clients. In certain product liability cases we perform tests on exemplar products, which allow us to evaluate the product performance under conditions similar to the actual event. We also develop testing protocols to evaluate the strength of materials, the flammability properties of various products, slip-resistance of shoe soles or walkways, and we conduct failure analysis. In the analysis process, the facts and data gathered during the investigation are examined in detail. Hypotheses are developed and tested against the facts in the case, and relevant science.
Reporting Our reports clearly convey the issues we were engaged to address, the material we reviewed to examine those issues, the scientific and technical basis of our investigation, and our expert opinions as they apply to the issues. In some cases, our reports can be concise, two page documents. More complicated matters require lengthy documents encompassing all of the integral details including calculations and the application of scientific principles. Each client receives the highest quality work product that communicates our expert opinion and the supporting documentation for those conclusions.
Deposition/Testimony Some cases and claims require the testimony of experts. Whether through affidavit, deposition or courtroom testimony, our experts are prepared to clearly explain to a fact finder, jury or arbitration panel the technical aspects of each case in a manner that can be understood by the non-expert. We assist our clients in preparing to obtain testimony of the opposing experts and to understand the technical relevance of their testimony.
