DATA-DRIVEN APPROACH
Causation Analysis
Our experts have years of experience determining the causation of damages and component failures. We follow a methodical, data-driven process designed to identify contributing factors, separate unrelated conditions, and develop defensible conclusions. We assist your team in getting the right answers for a sound legal strategy.
Our approach is simple. We collect and review all the available data, conduct our onsite inspection, develop theories, verify those theories, and develop our conclusions. While not every case is the same, our value is derived by our attention to detail and our years of experience in the field. Causation determination can get messy with multiple overlapping and contributing factors. Our team of experts understand how to parse out non-related issues and get the facts to formulate a clear and concise conclusion.
