  Accident Reconstruction Experts

  Event Data Records (EDRs) play a pivotal role in this process. These specialized onboard computer systems, commonly referred to as “black boxes,” record a wealth of critical information about the vehicle’s performance leading up to and during the accident. This includes data on vehicle speed, brake and throttle inputs, steering angles, airbag deployment, and various other parameters. Our Accident Reconstructionists are highly skilled in extracting and interpreting EDR data, which provides vital insights into the moments leading up to the accident. By analyzing this data, they can reconstruct the sequence of events with a high degree of precision. EDRs are invaluable in corroborating or refuting eyewitness accounts and other evidence, thus adding an additional layer of accuracy to the reconstruction process.

• Arson & Fire Investigations.

  Garrett’s Fire & Arson services are committed to providing meticulous and scientifically rigorous investigations into fire and explosion incidents. Our Fire Investigators adhere to the guidelines set forth by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), which are widely regarded as the gold standard for conducting precise and well-informed analyses of these events. The NFPA guidelines serve as the foundation upon which our investigations are built, ensuring that we maintain the highest standards of accuracy in determining the origin, cause, responsibility, and methods of prevention related to fire and explosion incidents. These guidelines are designed to be applicable to a wide range of professionals, including public sector employees responsible for fire investigations and private sector experts conducting inquiries on behalf of insurance companies or in preparation for litigation. When a fire or explosion occurs, the critical task of ascertaining its cause and origin necessitates a meticulous approach. Our team of Fire Investigators is well-equipped and highly trained to undertake this task. They meticulously examine the incident site, leaving no stone unturned in their quest to gather all available evidence. Their mission is to uncover whether the fire resulted from an accidental event, a deliberate act, mechanical or electrical failures, or a natural occurrence. Our expertise extends across a broad spectrum of scenarios. Whether it involves vehicles, construction equipment, industrial or commercial buildings, or single and multi-tenant residential structures, our Fire Investigators are well-versed in analyzing fire and arson incidents in diverse settings. Their depth of knowledge, combined with their commitment to scientific rigor, ensures that their findings are not only accurate but also capable of withstanding scrutiny in various contexts, including legal proceedings and insurance claims. At Garrett’s Fire & Arson services, we prioritize the pursuit of truth and the application of scientific principles to unravel the complexities surrounding fire and explosion incidents. Our mission is to provide clarity and resolution, whether for insurance claims, litigation, or simply enhancing the understanding of these events to prevent future occurrences.

• Accident Injury Analysis.

  Biomechanical Analysis In general terms, biomechanics is the science of how the human body responds to applied external and internal forces. Biomechanical experts at Garrett will conduct an in-depth analysis which will provide the critical link to understanding the relationship between personal injury and injury-producing events. Whether the events and injuries are minor or involve fatalities, a rigorous biomechanical analysis is critical to demystifying the relationship between the events and the damage to the human body, including soft-tissue damage, lacerations, broken bones and death. A biomechanical analysis can help when there are no witnesses or when witness testimony conflicts, or when the economic stakes are high.
