Engineering-based systems-level failure analysis for insurance carriers, legal counsel, and manufacturers.
Powertrain Claims provides structured forensic analysis of complex engine, transmission, electronic, and integrated powertrain failures. Engagements are tailored to the evidentiary needs of each assignment, whether on-site inspection is required or analysis can be conducted through technical file review. All services are grounded in a consistent engineering-disciplined methodology and structured reporting framework.
Field Inspections & On-Site Failure Analysis
On-site forensic inspections are conducted when physical evidence evaluation is necessary to determine failure causation. This includes catastrophic losses, high-exposure claims, subrogation matters, and complex system failures requiring direct component examination.
Inspections integrate mechanical construction assessment, electronic control evaluation, damage pattern analysis, and diagnostic data interpretation. Findings are documented through structured reporting suitable for insurance and litigation environments.
File Review & Technical Causation Analysis
In matters where physical inspection is not required, technical file review services provide structured causation analysis based on repair documentation, diagnostic records, photographs, operating history, transcribed depositions, and related evidentiary materials.
This engagement model supports coverage evaluations, subrogation assessment, litigation consultation, and technical opinion development without on-site involvement. Analysis follows the same engineering-based methodology applied in field investigations.
