Batteries and Solar Power
Failure in battery or solar power systems can result property loss and bodily harm due to high energy combustion. The analysis of these failures involves not only examination of the manufacturing and installation standard of care, but also detailed analysis of the evidence through X-ray imaging, CT Scans, electrical analysis and microscopy to find the cause of these failures.

Accident Analysis/Reconstruction
By applying the laws of physics, material characteristics, knowledge of the local environment and understanding of human behavior, vehicular accidents can be reconstructed to provide a moment-by-moment account of the events leading up to a collision or other incident. Specialized software is used to model the vehicle and human motions, and assist in explaining how the accident occurred. The recreation of the accident can be performed under various constraints, and the resulting scenarios compared. When applicable the analysis and recreation is aided via information from event data recorders, from Berla interrogation tools, drone footage of the incident location, and 3-dimensional vehicle scans.

Biomechanics
Individuals involved in accidents can be subjected to accelerations in direction and magnitude not typically experienced. By applying mechanical principles to the human body, evaluations of the expected injury profile can be created. Such evaluations include trauma to bones, soft tissues, extremities, and internal organs.

Engineering - Mechanical
Mechanical engineering covers a wide range of topics, from the design and development of products and devices, the analysis of force, movement, strength and the anticipated modes of failures in specific components. This knowledge is broadly applied to the reconstruction of accidents, the failure of automotive and equipment components, and the investigation of product defects. Our team has experience in the automotive, aerospace, robotics, consumer product and other industries. We use that knowledge to provide design guidance, or in the case of failure analysis, we determine the underlying causal factors of a given failure.

Human Factors/Ergonomics
Human factors is the scientific discipline of the interaction between humans and elements of a system, applying knowledge of people and how they function within an environment. It allows for the evaluation of attentiveness, perception, memory, and performance, and is the doorway to understanding reasonable or reasonably safe behavior. The proper application of human factors in forensic investigations provides insight into why an incident occurred, and how it could have been avoided.

Premises Liability
Premises liability evaluations require knowledge of building codes, industry standards, construction practices, and maintenance requirements and processes. With this a given property may be evaluated for compliance and/or deficiencies. Understanding how the incident occurred requires the application of human factors - the study of how people interact with their environment and the objects and systems therein, utilizing knowledge of perception, expectation, attention, cognition, and human capabilities and limitations.
