Fire Accidents Expert Witnesses

Fire accident reconstruction experts are expert witnesses that are hired to reconstruct and investigate fires in order to determine the cause of the fire and liability. They use specialized hardware, software, and knowledge to figure out how the fire started, spread, and ultimately was extinguished. Fire accident reconstruction experts work closely with law enforcement investigators to arrive at conclusions that can properly reflect a fair representation of facts within a legal setting. By studying evidence found at the scene of a fire such as burn patterns, soot deposition levels on different surfaces, size-up positioning marks on objects or walls nearby where ignition sources were located is determined by this specialist working alone or cooperatively with fire investigators. These analyzations not only help pinpoint negligence but also conspiracy when related cases overlap interconnected events leading up or relating back from the origin point of the conflagration.
