Overview

Independent, Defensible Expert Analysis

ElectroTek provides deposition and trial testimony as expert witnesses in matters involving electrical fires, product failures, and vehicle fire origins. Our investigators have given expert testimony more than 150 times across state and federal proceedings.

We accept assignments for both plaintiff and defense counsel. Our role is to provide independent, unbiased forensic analysis — our conclusions are driven by evidence, not advocacy.

Every engagement is backed by thorough forensic investigation, detailed documentation, and conclusions grounded in NFPA 921 methodology and accepted engineering practices.

Engagement

Who We Work With

Plaintiff Counsel

We provide forensic analysis and expert testimony supporting claims involving defective products, negligent installation, and fire causation. Our independent findings establish the technical basis for liability.

Defense Counsel

We evaluate claims, review opposing expert reports, and provide independent analysis for manufacturers, insurers, and defense teams. Our testimony is grounded in evidence, whether it supports or challenges the plaintiff’s theory.

We also accept assignments from insurance carriers for subrogation investigations and coverage determination.
