LITIGATION SERVICES
We support all aspect of your legal case technically in all aspects of your forensic cases, from the beginning to see whether or not you have a case and if you do, how strong is your case. We just do not provide an opinion, we support our findings and conclusions by investigation, scientific testing, and accurate analysis, all acceptable by applicable codes and standard.
Forensic Engineering
the investigation of-materials, products, structures or components that fail or do not operate or function as intended, causing accidents or damage to property.
The field also deals with retracing processes and procedures leading to accidents in operation of vehicles or machinery. The subject is applied most commonly in civil law cases, although it may be of use in criminal law cases. Generally, the purpose of a forensic energy 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 claims, especially patents .
