Analysis by File Review
When the scene is unavailable, we are experienced in reviewing and evaluating the information collected during discovery, including the work of others, to reach accurate, provable conclusions. This is a specialized skill rarely held by others in our profession.
Product Liability Analysis
We regularly evaluate product issues to assess their relationship to the fire or explosion cause and responsibility. Design defects, manufacturing defects, hazardous conditions, negligence and the sufficiency of label instructions and warnings, including Material Safety Data Sheets, are regular subjects for our experts' analysis.
Laboratory Testing, Experimentation and Demonstrations
 Our Forensic Fire Science and Technology Laboratories are specifically designed and equipped to perform testing and experimentation for fire and explosion litigation cases.
Analysis of Investigations Done by Others
We regularly analyze the methodology and bases of opinions proffered by other investigators for reliability and compliance with NFPA 921. We objectively investigate, review and analyze the evidence and other technical facts to compare the evidence and the opinions of other experts for reliability.
Codes and Standards Research
Research and evaluation of national, state, local and various industry codes and standards are often the backbone of products and services litigation. This research is a complicated undertaking requiring skills, training and experience frequently lacking in other firms.
Our extensive collection of national and local fire codes includes not only the most current volumes but an unrivaled archival collection. Our expert staff is well versed in researching the compliance with or violation of codes, standards, and good practices. In addition, our staff is actively involved with many fire codes and standards-promulgating committees and organizations.
Reference Library Codes and Standards Research Libraries
 We maintain a large and up-to-date library of codes and standards, texts, handbooks, research reports, periodicals and selected articles pertaining to fires and explosions.
We have acquired thousands of volumes of research on fire and safety related topics in our fifty year plus history. Our library includes one of the largest collections of National Fire Codes outside of the National Fire Protection Association itself. Our assets include books, periodicals, white papers and collections of research on specific fire and safety related topics
Detailed Reports
If required, we can produce detailed, but easily understood, written reports, illustrated by professional photographs and diagrams. These reports are capable of "standing alone" in fully explaining the facts to the reader.
Expert Opinions
Rendering expert opinions is one of our primary services. It is the basis upon which all of our other services are based. All of our experts are National Board Certified Fire and Explosion Investigators. They are accomplished public speakers and educators capable of clearly communicating and proving their opinions to a court and a jury.
