Failure Analysis
Detailed analysis to determine the origin and cause of failure is conducted through independent examination of failed products, helping determine how and why a product failed, with findings useful for claim evaluation, subrogation, litigation support, and product-safety review. Each examination is tailored to the specific product, loss scenario, and investigative needs of the client.
