Three Ways CLEAR Supports High-Stakes Product Matters
CLEAR provides engineering analysis to help plaintiff attorneys build liability theories, defense teams assess technical risk, and manufacturers make safer, better-documented product decisions.
Build the Case
Product inspection, defect analysis, standards review, testing, and engineering evaluation to determine whether product design, manufacturing, warnings, or safety systems contributed to an incident.
Evaluate Defensibility
Independent engineering review of products, records, testing, standards, warnings, and alleged failure modes to assess causation, risk, and technical defensibility.
Develop Products
Engineering consulting for product design, safety systems, validation testing, standards compliance, risk assessment, failure analysis, prototyping, and pre-production evaluation.
Engagement scope depends on project complexity, available evidence, testing requirements, travel, and schedule.
From Product Evidence to Engineering Clarity
CLEAR combines inspection, testing, standards review, modeling, data acquisition, failure analysis, engineering reporting, and product-development support.
Standards & Compliance Review
Review of applicable product safety standards, industry practices, ANSI/OPEI requirements, regulatory expectations, and recognized engineering frameworks used to evaluate product safety, design adequacy, and risk.
Mechanical & Electrical Data Acquisition + Testing
Testing and measurement of product function, safety systems, operator controls, interlocks, sensors, loads, motion, and failure behavior — including blade/deck systems, steering, braking, rollover protection, and safety interlock performance.
Product & Site Investigations
On-site or laboratory inspection of products, components, accident locations, measurements, photographs, physical evidence, operating conditions, and product condition after an incident.
Design Defect & Alternative Design Analysis
Evaluation of alleged design defects, foreseeable use and misuse, guarding, warnings, safety systems, risk reduction, and reasonable alternative designs based on engineering principles, standards, testing, and product-development practice.
3D Modeling, Printing & Demonstratives
CAD models, 3D-printed parts, visual exhibits, and product demonstrations that help attorneys, insurers, and juries understand product function, failure modes, design alternatives, and mechanical relationships. Also supports rapid prototyping and pre-production review for manufacturers.
Finite Element Analysis / FEA
Computer-based engineering analysis used to evaluate stress, strain, deflection, weak points, load paths, and potential failure areas. In plain terms: FEA shows where a part is likely to bend, crack, deform, or fail under load — before or after a failure occurs.
Reports, Exhibits & Attorney Support
Technical reports, findings summaries, demonstratives, deposition support, trial exhibits, and document-request guidance to support technical case evaluation and presentation.
Bring Engineering Clarity to Complex Product Matters
Independent engineering analysis for product liability litigation, safety investigations, testing disputes, and product-development decisions.
