Berkeley Engineering And Research, Inc., is one of California's leading scientific experts, serving law firms, insurance companies, government agencies, and other corporations. Our 10,000 square foot, state-of-the-art laboratory, and industry-leading team of Forensic Engineering Experts are able to provide expert design and engineering services for a wide range of industries.
BEAR experts have extensive deposition and trail testimony experience across the country. Founded in 1986, our engineers have consulted on hundreds of critical, high-profile projects including the Alaskan Pipeline, the Golden Gate Bridge, the BP Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, the Milwaukee Brewers Stadium roof collapse, the Lan Chile airplane fire at the Miami airport, and the San Bruno pipeline explosion, among many others.
BEAR engineers also develop a wide range of specialized products, from cauterizing forceps for surgery that prevent tissue burning to powerline detectors for cranes and lifts to high strength frame and body components for automobiles and trucks.

BEAR is uniquely positioned to assist clients by analyzing a wide range of accidents attributable to human factors.
BEAR engineers can analyze the incidents and determine whether the accident is caused by the malfunctioning products or machines.
Our expertise has been called on in various cases involving this know-how.
Anthropometric constraints upon the configuration of products or systems, for example, are well delineated in engineering case literature.
Most products and systems are designed for use by an array of people, rather than for use by one specific individual.

Our videographer, Stan Huncilman, recreates events to illustrate the accident scenario.
The accident is re-enacted and videotaped.
Care is taken that scene and actors resemble the actual situation while maintaining the integrity of the incident.
Videos like these can be helpful in the courtroom and outside of the courtroom.
Adjusting light in a video to improve visibility: The image on the left shows how, in a tricky lighting situation with a bright background and a dark foreground the light, settings on the video can be set to be overexposed.

Our team analyzes and tests consumer products, manufacturing and commercial equipment, medical equipment, and construction defects.
We apply a rigorous scientific approach to determine how the failure occurred, how the failure appeared over time, and whether it was due to misuse, material defect, or manufacturing/design defect.
Moreover, we use state-of-the art equipment and software to determine failure analysis.
The BEAR team includes a sculptor, machinist, and fabricator that make courtroom models to help during trial.
