Accident Investigation-Forensic-Expert Witness-Mechanical Engineering Expert, Forensic Engineering Expert, Failure Analysis Expert-Root-Cause Analysis, Products Liability Expert-
Effective forensic investigations of incidents caused by product failures determine whether the loss resulted from a defect in the product, such as a manufacturing, or production, defect. A manufacturing defect is a flaw that occurs when the product does not meet the manufacturer's own standards and which renders the product unreasonably dangerous. The flaw may result from a casting flaw, substitution of the wrong material or component, machining error, poor weld, missing vent hole, the wrong label, etc. Evaluation of the product and the production standards by an mechanical engineering expert experienced with design and manufacturing can be extremely valuable in establishing or refuting the existence of a manufacturing defect. With decades of mechanical design practice and experience assisting with product liability cases for both plaintiffs and defendants, forensic investigations by King Professional Engineering, Inc. determine whether a loss was caused by a manufacturing defect and clearly establish or refute the criteria required for a successful products liability case.
The investigative process may involve:
• Materials or metallurgy analysis.
• Analysis or testing of product function.
• Linkage between a manufacturing defect & causation of the incident.
• Dimensional measurements – micrometers, calipers, coordinate measuring machines, laser scan, etc.
• Analysis of engineering drawings.
• Analysis of production and quality control records.
• Clear reporting of opinions, supporting discussion, and underlying reasoning.
