Insurance services in the state of Florida are governed by the Department of Financial Regulation and are mandated to indemnify all parties involved. That is the premise upon which our Forensic Engineering & Science team conducts all investigations. Insurance companies, lenders, and land owners depend upon the fair and reliable reporting provided by our team of experts. Our highly trained professionals will look beyond the surface to determine the specific cause of your loss, while maintaining respect for all stakeholders involved.

The “who, what, when, where, why and how” of an incident can be a complex task for insurance companies, lenders, and land owners lacking the right investigative professionals.

The term “forensic” is defined as “for the court”. Unfortunately, litigation is an increasingly common component of forensic investigations, and because of this, our investigations are conducted and reported within the guidelines that best support successful litigation.

Our team is comprised of specialized geologists and engineers who apply analytical skills and years of experience to unravel and mitigate the consequences of accidents and failures that give rise to property damages and insurance claims. Our initial focus during our investigations is to determine if a loss is the result of a “sudden and accidental” event or “normal wear and tear”. Or was there another reason?
