Forensic Engineering & Expert Witness Services
Overview
Forensic Engineering is the practice of applying the science of engineering to some legal circumstance. These engineers investigate and report on accidents or failures. A Forensic Engineer (FE) may be called on to act as an expert witness, providing testimony in front of a jury. The FE must have technical competency as their specialty, as well as knowledge of legal procedures. The FE must be able to apply detective skills to different circumstances and be able to relate their findings to a judge, jury, or lawyer.
Since 1941, JBA has maintained a reputation for providing qualified Forensic Engineers and Expert Witnesses. Below is a sample list of cases for which the firm has provided its services:
