The performance of an allegedly defective vehicle is sometimes questioned.
When simple inspection is not enough, the best evidence of performance is to test the car or truck in question or its duplicate.
Creative testing methods allow us to closely examine theories of vehicle and system performance.
For example, we have duplicated defective truck brakes by rigging brake system defects and testing the truck's stopping distance.
We have duplicated a vehicle with a defective engine mount that would allow the engine to physically lift and hold the throttle locked open, rendering the vehicle out of control.

We can help you cut through the confusion common around technical issues in litigation and the discovery process.
Parties may provide so many documents that the pertinent ones are buried, or physical evidence that does not truly address the issues.
We examine all evidence and documents and sort out the critical technical data points; we sometimes uncover seemingly minor issues that can prove critical to the case.
