A forensic engineer should be chosen when you need an expert to analyze the cause of a failure in a structure, system, or product, particularly when legal disputes arise, as they can provide crucial evidence in court by identifying the root cause of an accident, malfunction, or damage, helping to determine liability and prevent future incidents; their expertise lies in examining damaged components and reconstructing events to understand the underlying factors behind failures, often serving as expert witnesses in legal proceedings.
-
Investigating complex failures:
They can analyze accidents, structural collapses, product defects, fires, explosions, and more to determine the root cause of the failure, going beyond just identifying visible damage.
-
Legal expertise:
Forensic engineers can provide expert testimony in court, explaining their findings in a clear and understandable way to support legal arguments in civil or criminal cases.
-
Liability assessment:
By identifying the cause of a failure, they can help determine who is responsible for damages, whether it’s a manufacturer, designer, or other party.
-
Preventative measures:
Their investigations can lead to recommendations for design improvements, safety protocols, and maintenance procedures to prevent similar failures in the future.
-
Variety of fields:
Forensic engineering spans across various disciplines like civil, mechanical, electrical, and chemical engineering, allowing them to tackle a wide range of cases.
-
Major accidents or incidents:
When a significant accident occurs, like a building collapse, bridge failure, or industrial explosion, a forensic engineer can investigate the cause.
-
Product liability claims:
If a product defect leads to injury or damage, a forensic engineer can analyze the product to determine if design flaws contributed to the issue.
-
Insurance disputes:When there is disagreement over the cause of damage in an insurance claim, a forensic engineer can provide an objective assessment.
The Why and How When Choosing our Company?
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.
