During this national emergency, it is possible that access to inspection sites may be restricted.  However, our engineers can assist with a portion of the analysis prior to an inspection. Initial impressions can be understood from numerous resources: deposition transcripts, statements, manufacturer’s manuals, photographs, and videos. Based on these impressions, a working hypothesis can be developed to assist in managing the case. Our engineers can also offer advice on how to preserve the evidence until such time that a full inspection can be arranged. Further, and depending on the current status of the case, our engineers can help prepare suggested deposition and/or trial questions. We use conference calls and video networking to bring people together from remote locations in place of traditional face-to-face meetings.
