Engineering resources for attorneys litigating construction defects, structural failures, property damage, and insurance disputes — from an independent forensic engineer with Ph.D. credentials and 26-state licensure.
In construction defect, structural failure, and property damage litigation, the engineering report is the foundational evidence. Insurance adjusters, contractors, and building inspectors — while knowledgeable — are not licensed Professional Engineers and their opinions lack the legal authority courts require. An independent forensic engineer provides PE-stamped findings that carry evidentiary weight, withstand Daubert challenges, and establish causation with scientific rigor. Unlike a contractor serving as a witness, an independent engineer has no financial interest in the repair scope — ensuring objective findings that protect your client's position.
