Forensic Services

Forensic Engineering is performed by professional engineers who conduct investigations of events, with the purpose of determining the root cause, and providing expert evidence.

Insurers and lawyers use engineering reports to determine if insurance covers the loss, when subrogation of the loss is possible, when a third party liability exists, and when an insurance claim can be denied based on fraud.

Our primary areas focus on building claims, fire investigation, environmental services, accident reconstruction, personal injury, and failure analysis.  Our team of experts is qualified to perform a wide variety of engineering services, including:
