Plastic Failures
An engineering investigation of a failed plastic component that may be subject to a subrogated or liability interest starts with a thorough visual non-destructive analysis and later with more advanced destructive examination and material testing. Our extensive knowledge of plastic materials allows us to determine how the failure occurred and who is the most liable party.
In addition to understanding the product engineering, materials and failure mechanisms, our analysis also includes the environment, the end use, the installation, and life history of the product. We are also aware that plastics parts can fail prematurely because of the intentional or unintentional abuse by the end users. All the facts and evidence are incorporated to help complete the picture before drafting an expert opinion, our knowledge and technical expertise are tailored to provide you with the solutions you need.
