Forensic engineering analysis of structural damage to buildings, homes, and commercial properties caused by vehicular impacts.
When a vehicle strikes a building, the structural consequences can be severe — and the insurance and legal aftermath is often complex. Global Forensic Engineers provides comprehensive forensic investigation of vehicle-into-building collisions, assessing structural integrity, identifying hidden damage, and producing PE-stamped reports for insurance claims, litigation, and repair planning. Dr. Mousavi's team has investigated hundreds of car-into-structure incidents, from single-family homes to commercial storefronts.
Structural Impact Analysis
Assessment of load-bearing elements (columns, beams, walls) affected by vehicular impact, including hidden damage from force transfer through the structure.
Foundation & Slab Evaluation
Investigation of foundation cracking, slab displacement, and subterranean damage from high-energy vehicle impacts.
Secondary Damage Assessment
Identification of cascading structural effects — plumbing ruptures, electrical damage, roof truss displacement — caused by the primary impact.
Repair vs. Replacement Analysis
Engineering determination of whether damaged structural elements can be repaired or require full replacement, supporting accurate claim valuations.
Code Compliance & Safety
Assessment of post-impact structural safety and compliance with local building codes for occupancy decisions.
Litigation Support
Expert reports and testimony for disputes involving liability, damage scope, and repair costs between property owners, insurers, and responsible parties.

Common questions about our car accident structural investigations services
We investigate all vehicle-into-structure collisions: passenger cars, SUVs, commercial trucks, delivery vehicles, and construction equipment striking residential homes, commercial buildings, garages, retaining walls, and other structures.
Absolutely. Vehicle impacts transfer enormous kinetic energy through structures. We frequently find cracked foundations, displaced framing, and compromised load paths that are not visible from the exterior — which is why a professional forensic assessment is critical.
We typically complete on-site inspection within 48 hours of engagement and deliver the PE-stamped report within 48 hours of inspection. Rush turnaround is available for urgent situations.
