Forensic Research
Ryan Engineering knows the importance of research in Product Liability work. Our expert witnesses have the tools to complete extensive literature searches without leaving our office, through remote access to hundreds of exclusive databases worldwide. Our experts also conduct research through design and testing. We have experience in testing products to determine compliance to existing standards. Our engineers have developed testing protocols when not available in standards.

Communicating Engineering Principles
Expert Witnesses are called on to communicate engineering principles to non-technical people. Many of our expert engineers have extensive university teaching experience, which enables them to effectively communicate concepts in clear, readily understood language.

We also employ large scale renderings, computer-generated animations and a variety of models to illustrate the vital issues.  Animations are used to demonstrate how an accident happened.  Models are used to demonstrate a product when it is necessary to "feel" a mechanism, or "see" how a proposed design alternative works.

Ryan Engineering also provides low cost preliminary evaluations. This provides the client with information about the technical issues involved in the incident early on in the investigation process. 

Ryan Engineering is familiar with Supreme Court rulings concerning expert testimony such as Daubert and Kumho. Whenever practical, we support our opinions with published data or research. We have access to many large databases both public and private.
