Component failure, fire origin, battery events and collision mechanics — at recall scale or single-vehicle scale.
Start a conversation with our AI Research Concierge, already scoped to automotive & transportation. Select a specialization to prompt it, or describe your situation directly.
Automotive matters span a wide range: a single vehicle fire with a disputed origin, a fractured component that may or may not be a fleet-wide pattern, or a collision where the mechanical condition of the vehicle is contested. The analytical question is usually the same — did the part fail because of design, manufacture, maintenance, or use — and answering it well requires the vehicle, the component, and the data preserved together.
Cross-cutting specializations most often engaged in automotive and transportation work.
Momentum-based crash reconstruction, EDR data, and vehicle dynamics for collision litigation.
investigateAutomotive fire origin and cause — engine bay, wiring, fuel systems, and EV battery thermal runaway.
investigateThermal runaway, internal shorts, separator defects, and manufacturing contamination.
investigateInjury causation analysis — occupant kinematics, fall biomechanics, and traumatic injury mechanisms.
investigateVehicle-pedestrian crash dynamics — visibility, trajectory, and injury causation.
investigateCyclic-loading failures — beach marks, stress concentrations, and the crack that grew silently before it broke.
investigateRecall exposure changes the calculus. A defect that is genuinely systemic is a very different matter from a one-off, and distinguishing the two early is often worth more than the individual claim.
Determining whether a failure is systemic or isolated early changes the whole matter. Start with the concierge.
