Catastrophic Damage Evaluations

U. S. Forensic has extensive experience in helping rebuild after catastrophic events. Our Registered Professional Engineers have investigated damage caused by hurricanes, tornados, floods and hailstorms. Our experience includes evaluations of homes, commercial buildings, industrial facilities, marine terminals and historic structures. We can offer expert opinion as to damages attributable to wind, water, surge, tornados, construction defects and long term neglect.

We are experienced in ASCE wind load requirements, FEMA BFE requirements and class action certification matters related to hail storms and hurricanes. We provide oral or written reports of our findings and are courtroom qualified to provide expert witness testimony of our opinions.
