Forensic Experience

Forensic engineering is the investigation of materials, products, structures or components that fail or do not operate or function as intended, causing personal injury or damage to property. We extend that definition to include all aspects of construction delay and damages. The consequences of delay or failure are dealt with by contract law or product liability. Our forensic engineers are trained to determine facts professionally using comprehensive analysis, state of art technology, and industry wide standards of care. 


We work hard to analyze both sides of every issue, and present facts objectively. We sometimes walk away from a case when client's legal counsel overreaches or refuses to acknowledge evidence to support the technical issues. We respect the law, and are careful to avoid making legal conclusions. In today's litigious climate, we work hard to settle disputes without litigation, using proven engineering principals gained through many years in the trenches. 


Mr. Gogulski has administered complex construction contracts from the owner's perspective as well as the general contractor's, and has overseen architects and engineers throughout the design process. This unique perspective offers our clients a balanced position regarding the merits of the case, and has proven effective in early settlement.
