Forensic crash laboratory at night
Forensic Engineering · Est. 1998

When the physics of a collision becomes the question before the court.

BRi is a full-service forensic engineering research and consulting firm. We reconstruct accidents, quantify injury causation, and deliver expert opinions engineered to withstand the harshest scrutiny — deposition, cross-examination, and trial.

Who We Serve

Counsel for the questions that decide cases.

Our analyses serve the attorneys, carriers, and institutions whose cases turn on what the engineering actually shows — not what either side wishes it showed.

Plaintiff & Defense Counsel

Objective, quantified opinions on liability, causation, and injury mechanism — prepared for disclosure, deposition, and the witness stand.

Insurance Carriers

Early, evidence-based assessments of crash severity, occupant kinematics, and claimed injury consistency to inform reserves and strategy.

Manufacturers & Fleets

Component failure analysis, materials testing, and incident investigation grounded in laboratory-grade instrumentation.

Government & Institutions

Independent research, testing programs, and technical consultation built on NHTSA, IIHS, and NASS data foundations.

Practice Areas

Multidisciplinary. One standard of proof.

Every engagement draws on the same foundation: real crash data, calibrated instrumentation, and mathematics that can be shown, step by step, to a jury.

Why BRi

Opinions are easy. Defensible opinions are rare.

Anyone can hire an expert with an opinion. Far fewer can hire one whose opinion rests on measured data, documented methods, and reproducible analysis — because the work beneath it was done right.

  • ✓
    Dual-branch licensure held by almost no one.

    As of January 2025, our founder is one of only eight active Texas P.E.s licensed in both biomedical and mechanical engineering — the exact pairing these cases demand.

  • ✓
    Research first, opinions second.

    Our conclusions rest on NHTSA, IIHS, and NASS datasets plus BRi's own instrumented testing — not on assumptions borrowed from someone else's paper.

  • ✓
    Built for the witness stand.

    Every analysis is documented, quantified, and reproducible — prepared from day one as though it will be cross-examined. Because it will be.

Research & Testing

A laboratory behind every letter we sign.

BRi maintains a continually updated arsenal of research materials, test data, and precision instrumentation — from 3D laser scanners and EDR toolkits to tri-axial accelerometers and university-grade materials testing access.

Our human-volunteer programs in low-speed rear and frontal impacts give us something most firms can only cite: firsthand data on how real bodies respond to real collisions.

Expert Witness

Testimony engineered like the analysis.

"Make the engineering so clear, so quantified, and so honest that the right outcome becomes unavoidable."
BRi Expert Witness Philosophy

Have a case that turns on the engineering?

Send us the essentials. A principal engineer — not a sales rep — eventually reviews every inquiry.
