Engineering for counsel

Construction Accident Engineering Investigations

HUB Engineering assists attorneys with construction-accident investigations in New York and New Jersey. We examine worksite conditions, physical evidence, safety practices and project information to address the engineering questions involved in an incident.

Documenting the worksite and available evidence

Construction sites change as work progresses. Relevant information may include incident photographs and video, site measurements, drawings, records and witness descriptions. Early review can help identify technical issues and evidence needed for an inspection or further analysis.

Explaining technical issues clearly

HUB evaluates the available evidence against relevant engineering principles and applicable technical criteria. Reports and exhibits explain the reasoning and limitations, with deposition and trial support available within the agreed scope.

New York construction claims

For matters involving New York Labor Law construction claims, HUB evaluates relevant physical conditions, elevation hazards, means and methods, and Industrial Code technical issues. Legal applicability and liability remain questions for counsel and the court.
