Rapid Claim Resolution

Policy claims range in size and complexity from a single auto accident to a construction defect and severe losses caused by natural disasters. Insurers must react quickly to collect data and evidence critical to determining loss value, repair requirements and fault. Our depth of experience in forensics enables us to provide rapid response, helping you determine origin and cause through failure analysis, accident reconstruction and expert laboratory services.

Unbiased Science-Based Answers

Litigation support is critical to developing the best case for your client and to objectively prepare for issues raised in the dispute. We will continue to support you through trial by providing expert witness testimony, evidence storage, chain of custody documentation, and other related legal services. Our experts have testified as witnesses on a wide variety of cases including construction defect claims, automotive and marine accidents, fire and explosions, product liability cases, regulated safety and security standards.
