Structured Engineering Analysis. Defensible, Litigation-Ready Technical Conclusions.
Engineering-disciplined forensic evaluation of catastrophic engine losses, complex mechanical/electronic failures, and vehicle fire origin matters for insurance carriers, legal counsel, and manufacturers.
Each assignment is evaluated through a structured analytical framework grounded in design architecture, theory of operation, and evidence-based causation modeling.
Our analytical framework integrates advanced academic training in automotive technology with investigative discipline reinforced through OEM-level technical consultation and real-world forensic application.

Engagement Options
Field Inspections
_______________
On-site forensic evaluation of complex engine, transmission, and integrated vehicle system failures involving mechanical and electronically controlled architectures.
Assignments involve structured examination of mechanical construction, electronically controlled subsystems, fuel and contamination pathways, and operating conditions to determine technically defensible root cause conclusions.
Our field work integrates systems-level analysis developed through advanced academic training and investigative discipline reinforced through OEM technical consultation.
Inspections are conducted throughout our northeast inspection territory, with major loss assignments nationwide.
Common Assignment Types
• Major engine failures
• Transmission failures
• Fuel and contamination losses
• Vehicle and equipment fire investigations
• Industrial, marine, and heavy equipment powertrain claims
File Review & Technical Consultation
_______________
Independent forensic evaluation of complex powertrain and engine failure claims conducted through structured technical file review.
Assignments involve structured review of claim files, repair documentation, photographs, diagnostic data, fluid analysis, operating history, and supporting materials to determine technical plausibility and defensible root cause positions.
Our consultation work applies the same systems-level analytical framework used in field investigations, integrating mechanical, electronic, and operational analysis to clarify causation, identify diagnostic gaps, and evaluate the technical validity of claimed failure scenarios.
Common Applications
• Litigation-Focused Expert Consultation
• Subrogation Causation Review
• Structured Root Cause Analysis
• Independent Evaluation of Diagnostic and Repair Conclusions
• Pre-Inspection Technical Claim Review
