Forensic engineers are experts who provide objective information about situations involving property damage or injury. They can testify as expert witnesses in court. Forensic engineering expert witnesses gather physical evidence, conduct tests and analysis, review documents and data, and provide expert opinions. We apply accepted scientific and engineering principles to collect evidence and conduct the analysis in order to understand your case.
