Explosives Expert Witness

ExploDynamics provides explosives expert witness services to attorneys and judges with insight on legal cases involving incidents or accidents related to explosives, propellants, and pyrotechnics material. With most cases, this involves the process of reconstructing a single, unique past event that is no longer observable, and performing a deep-dive analysis to derive the facts. ExploDynamics experts work diligently on your case in the determination of Root Cause.

Attorneys are extremely busy, often managing many cases simultaneously and require reliable insight into legal strategies and causation. ExploDynamics communicates clearly and quickly with attorneys to define Duty of Care and Standard of Care in cases involving explosives materials, and to evaluate circumstances and the law.

ExploDynamics uses forensic tools and procedures to clearly communicate with attorneys on incidents or accidents related to energetic materials such as explosive, propellant, pyrotechnic materials, devices, fireworks, ammunition, or ordnance. The team provides reliable, cogent, and concise information that is understandable by the Courts.
