Efficient Case Development Methodology

Based on years of experience, our case approach has been streamlined to be as efficient as possible and is conducted in an economically sensible manner.

• Budget estimates are available upon request to assist the client in right sizing case workup costs to case value.

• Inspection services are offered at multiple technical levels.  The decision as to which level to utilize will depend upon the availability of personnel, complexity of the inspection and probability of litigation for the matter.

• Preliminary analyses options are available upon request to provide early estimates of final results prior to performing complete analyses.

• Site and vehicle investigations are combined when feasible to reduce duplicating travel costs.

• Travel options are selected in an economically conscious manner.

Reasonable Hourly Rates and Expenses

Although our experience levels would allow charging higher hourly rates, we have deliberately not set them in the stratosphere so that you can still afford to actually have us work on your case.

Note:  A fee schedule, reflecting our hourly rates and expense charges, is available upon request to potential clients.

Good Fit for Serious Accidents

Although we have set reasonable rates and make every effort to control costs, they can still add up to significant numbers.  We perform detailed investigations and detailed engineering analyses in the anticipation that the matters we handle might eventually be subjected to the scrutiny of the courtroom.  Therefore, although we have some ability to right size our approach to the case value, we do not recommend our services on minor collisions.   The cases we are best suited for are accidents which have resulted in significant injury, death or substantial property loss.  For first time clients, we recommend obtaining a budget estimate from us before we begin work on your case.  Additionally, first time clients may be required to provide a retainer.
