Trusted Credentials – A Forensic Engineering Litigation Firm
What Does a Forensic Engineer Do? To put it simply, forensic engineering is the application of engineering principles and science used in the investigation of failure, more specifically, the failure of a machine, component, material or structure.
I am a qualified engineer that investigates materials, products, structures and components that fail or do not operate as intended. The failure or non-conformance can result in personal injury, property damage, or financial strain and be litigated in a court of law. A Forensic Engineer uses the scientific method, training, testing, and scientific standards to determine the root-cause and any contributing factors to the accident. All of our consultants are professional engineers, the profession’s highest standard of competence.

It includes the investigation of materials, products, structures or components that fail or do not operate or function as intended, causing personal injury, damage to property or economic loss. The consequences of failure may give rise to action under either criminal or civil law including but not limited to health and safety legislation, the laws of contract and/or product liability and the laws of tort. The field also deals with retracing processes and procedures leading to accidents in operation of vehicles or machinery. Generally, the purpose of a forensic engineering investigation is to locate cause or causes of failure with a view to improve performance or life of a component, or to assist a court in determining the facts of an accident. It can also involve investigation of intellectual property claims, especially patents. In the US, forensic engineers require a professional engineering license from each state.
