Abts Forensics and Consulting is an engineering firm specializing in accident reconstruction and failure analysis with a focus on the industrial arena. If, for some reason, a machine does not operate correctly and someone is hurt, or equipment damaged, we can reconstruct what happened and offer our expert opinion as to its cause.

Expert Testimony

     AFC is not an advocate. We can be depended upon to provide unbiased opinions based on the facts of a case and other information that becomes available through research to the plaintiff or the defendant in a lawsuit.
 
     In addition to material provided through the discovery process, our research includes use of our extensive library and laboratory facilities.
 
     In those cases where equipment or expertise which lie beyond the scope of AFC are required, we will work with other experts and laboratories to form a working team focused on the unbiased reconstruction of the event in question..

What is Forensic Engineering?

     Forensic engineering is the investigation of materials, products, structures or components that fail or do not operate or function as intended, causing personal injury or damage to property.
 
     The field also deals with retracing processes and procedures leading to accidents in operation of vehicles or machinery.
 
     The purpose of a Forensic engineering investigation is to locate cause or causes of failure with a view to improve performance or life of a component, or to assist a court in determining the facts of an accident.
