Accident Investigation
	Alleged Freeze Burst Our client was denied insurance coverage on the basis that a water leak was the result of a freeze burst. We were asked to determine if the evidence was consistent with a theory of freeze burst and issue a report. Read More >
	Flash Fire In a case retained by RWFE for the Defense (natural gas plant), Plaintiff sustained injuries resulting from a flash fire inside the plant. Prior to the accident, Plaintiff was vacuuming water-absorbing material (desiccant) from the dehydration towers at the facility. Read More >
	Quarry Saw A quarry saw is used to cut rock harvested from an open-pit mine. Quarries are used for extracting building materials, such as gravel, sand, and limestone. Circular and band saws can be used to cut into the rock making it much smaller such as in blocks or fine dusts. In this particular case... Read More >

	Boat Winch Boat trailers use several different types of winches to pull the boat up onto the trailer. Most of them use a cam and pawl and posi-lock cam configuration. They are designed to fall into notches or interdental spaces on another part so as to permit motion in only one direction. This winch configuration has both positive and negative settings as well as a neutral setting. Read More >
	Boomerang Spinal Fusion Our client represented Plaintiff who had sustained permanent and disabling nerve injury from a surgical procedure that involved a Boomerang cage being inserted into his/her L5-S1 disk space. During installation, the implant slipped out of its holding device as the surgeon was attempting to tap the holder to place the cage in the intended space. This faulty placement caused pain, suffering, and multiple surgeries. Specifically, we were asked to review the documents associated with the case (depositions, drawings, etc) and also inspect and test the subject holder using exemplar cages of various size, and to render an expert opinion on whether the alleged premature release of the cage by the holder could have been caused by defective design and/or manufacturing of the holder device.

Though Plaintiff could not initially remember much about the accident, he stated that his hand might have been pulled into the machine. The accident resulted in the loss of all fingers and majority of Plaintiff’s hand. Read More >
