Three Ways CLEAR Supports High-Stakes Product Matters
CLEAR provides engineering analysis for the people who need to understand what a product did, why it happened, and whether the evidence supports liability, defense, or safer design.
Who Hires CLEAR & Why
Three distinct client paths — each built around the engineering problem that actually needs to be solved.
Build the Engineering Case
Product inspection, defect analysis, standards review, testing evaluation, and visual evidence to help determine whether the product’s design, manufacture, warnings, or safety systems contributed to an injury.
Evaluate Technical Defensibility
Independent engineering review of the product, records, standards, warnings, testing, and alleged failure mode to assess risk, causation, and the strength of the technical defense.
Develop Safer, Stronger Products
Engineering consulting for product design, safety review, testing strategy, compliance support, prototyping, and pre-production evaluation before issues become claims.
Engagement scope and pricing depend on the product, evidence, travel, testing needs, and litigation timeline.
How CLEAR Turns Product Evidence Into Engineering Answers
CLEAR combines inspection, standards review, testing, modeling, data analysis, and reporting to evaluate what happened, why it happened, and what the engineering evidence supports.
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
Clear technical reports, findings summaries, inspection notes, charts, demonstratives, deposition support, trial exhibits, and document-request guidance to help attorneys understand, organize, and present the engineering evidence.
Bring Engineering Clarity to Complex Product Matters
Independent engineering analysis for product liability litigation, safety investigations, testing disputes, and product-development decisions.
