The
mere failure of a product is not necessarily proof that it was defective.
Abuses such as excessive loading can cause a failure even if the product is
properly designed and manufactured. Our engineers have the right combination
of mechanical and materials engineering knowledge needed to determine the
root cause of a failure.
We
have examined seat belts, ladders, engines, golf clubs, springs, valves, and
a multitude of other commercial and consumer products. By carefully evaluating
physical evidence, service histories, and witness statements, we can trace
the exact path to failure and help you assess whether or not the failure was
due to defective design or manufacture.
