U.S. Forensic can determine the cause and origin of a blow out, tread separation, or other damage. We can determine if a tire failed due to a manufacturer defect, poor maintenance, or improper repair.
Our Team of Experts
Our team of experts delivers accurate answers to challenging cases. On top of tire analysis, we evaluate automotive systems to identify if a failure occurred due to manufacturing defects, operating errors, lacking maintenance, or neglected repairs. We also inspect airbag deployment, fuel system contamination, seatbelt failures, steering failures, and sudden accelerations.
Our experts conduct tire failure analysis, providing clients with the information they need to make the correct decision concerning a case or claim. Experts must possess significant training and experience to identify whether a failure arose due to improper maintenance, manufacturing defects, or other contributing factors.
Our Experts Identify
- Aging factors
- Damage from road hazards
- Foreign materials
- Maintenance issues
- Manufacturing defects
X-Ray Equipment Used in Tire Failure Analysis
U.S. Forensic’s laboratory is equipped with x-ray machines that can be used for non-destructive testing of tires and other components. This is particularly important in cases where a manufacturer’s defect may have caused a tire tread separation or failure. If the other tires on the vehicle are matches, we can test for potential defects without having to cut open the tires.
This equipment can also be used by our engineers and experts to identify hidden evidence in melted debris after a fire. For more information about our laboratory services, please visit our engineering lab page.
