Bringing Clarity to Complex Cases & Projects
Small Firm Attention, Big Firm Capabilities
ASC Forensics is known industry-wide as a firm dedicated to the pursuit of excellence. We are constantly upgrading our current services to set new standards in the industry, while also branching out and adding new capabilities to our arsenal. Our clients trust ASC to handle litigation cases and claims regardless of size or scope. We are confident that you will be satisfied with the quality of our solutions.
ASC’s primary clients are attorneys and insurance companies, but it doesn’t stop there. We have been tasked with some of the most challenging engineering projects to create solutions that are not available anywhere in the market. Having the ability to do so requires an extremely deep knowledge base in a variety of disciplines which our experts possess.
Areas of Expertise
Accident Reconstruction
ASC uses advanced technologies to reconstruct and analyze vehicle collisions to provide a clear understanding of accident dynamics. Our process includes evaluating vehicle trajectories, impact angles, and forces , as well as documenting physical evidence such as tire marks, vehicle crush damage, and roadway geometry. By examining causative and contributing factors, our experts deliver insights that clarify collision sequences, vehicle behavior, and potential points of failure.
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Crash Sensing Performance Analysis
Our experts employ decades of experience in automotive airbag development to evaluate crash sensing system performance in foreseeable, real-world collisions. Throughout the analysis process, sensor mounting locations, wire harness routing, and software algorithms and calibrations, developmental crash testing, and more are evaluated to determine if the system performed as designed.
Product Defect Analysis
Leveraging extensive expertise in automotive system design, ASC conducts in-depth investigations into potential product defects that may affect vehicle performance and safety. Our analysis includes a thorough evaluation of design specifications, developmental testing, Hazard and Risk Assessment (HARA), Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA), and manufacturing and assembly processes to identify factors that may have contributed to an incident.
Vehicle and Component Testing
ASC performs instrumented testing of vehicle dynamics (handling and stability) and components to assess their behavior under incident-relevant conditions. By applying the scientific method and repeatable practices, our team examines component durability, functionality, and compliance with design standards, offering clear insights into how design and mechanical shortcomings could cause or contribute to a catastrophic outcome.
Demonstrative Exhibits, Simulations, and Animations
ASC develops high-quality animations and simulations to represent accident dynamics, collision avoidance technologies (CAT), line-of-sight characteristics, and solve complicated accident reconstruction scenarios. These visuals are crafted to clarify technical findings and facilitate an understanding of complex issues in a way that a jury can understand.
Product Design, Development, and Testing
ASC provides comprehensive services in product design, development, and testing, focused on ensuring safety and functionality in automotive and specialty vehicle components. Our team evaluates design choices, materials, and engineering practices, using a methodical approach to identify potential risks and improvement opportunities. By simulating real-world conditions and rigorous testing, we deliver insights that support the development of reliable, high-performance products.
