When Electrical Accidents Happen Who Do
You Call?
Electrical accidents will happen.
And when they do, insurance companies are involved and attorneys are frequently retained to ensure that the
injured party(ies) are compensated for loss of income and trauma incurred
through no fault of their own. The electrical accident may involve
equipment or technology with which the insurance company or attorney is not very familiar.
This is frequently the case when the incident involves electrical equipment
and systems such as arc-flash accidents. This is where CCC can help. CCC provides
the services
of a forensic engineer to assist the insurance companies and attorneys to determine
the cause of the accident and explain it in simple terms so that the triers
of fact in civil
cases involving electrical accidents can arrive at their verdict. These services
include:
●
Initial Consultation
● Research & Site Investigation
● Forensic Investigation
● Expert Report Preparation
● Exhibit Preparation
● Model Preparation
● Pre-trial Deposition
● Expert Testimony
The president of CCC,
Tom McCauley, P.E., has more than 35 years of electrical engineering
experience in senior technical and managerial positions in major
manufacturing and consulting organizations in the US and Europe.
CCC has extensive forensic engineering experience in analyzing electrical equipment and design
process failures. Also, as a result of providing expert witness testimony before the NRC,
we understand how to answer questions without broadening the area of
inquiry.
We are skilled in
presenting complex technical issues in easily understandable forms through
the use of simple descriptions, diagrams and charts.
Our wide ranging experience in preparing forensic engineering reports and
technical papers enables us to provide you with concise
documentation of the technical issues involved in a case and to suggest
lines of questioning to you that will bring out the important aspects of
the testimony of your expert witness and that of the
opposing expert witnesses.
As attorney J. E. Malters, Mn. put
it, "(Mr. McCauley was) able to zero in on important issues before it was
apparent that they were important issues"
