Arc Forensics delivers rigorous, defensible electrical forensic engineering for insurers, attorneys, and property owners nationwide.
Our engineers hold advanced electrical engineering degrees from UT Austin and UT Arlington, professional licenses across 27 states, and decades of hands-on forensic investigation experience.
From residential electrical panels to industrial wind turbines and battery energy storage systems, we handle assignments of any scale with the tools, lab resources, and vendor network to match.
Complex technical findings mean nothing if the jury can't follow. We translate engineering into clear, compelling narratives for depositions, hearings, and trial testimony.
Comprehensive electrical failure analysis and expert consulting for claims resolution and litigation support.
Root-cause investigation of electrical faults and failures resulting in fires, explosions, equipment damage, and financial loss. We examine everything from residential wiring to industrial power systems.
Systematic origin and cause determination applying NFPA 921 methodology. From structure fires to wildland events, we identify the electrical factors and deliver defensible conclusions.
Clear, authoritative testimony from experienced forensic engineers. We prepare comprehensive reports, support depositions, and deliver effective trial testimony that withstands Daubert challenges.
Investigation of failures in motors, generators, transformers, switches, relays, PLCs, lighting systems, heat cables, appliances, and control systems across all environments.
Specialized investigation of failures in photovoltaic installations, wind turbines, battery energy storage systems, electric vehicles, and EV charging infrastructure.
Analysis of software defects, control system malfunctions, IoT device failures, and smart building system faults. Investigation of how code and logic failures lead to physical damage.
At Arc Forensics, we are committed to the truth. We apply rigorous scientific methodology to every investigation, generating defensible opinions that stand up to the closest scrutiny in claims resolution and litigation.
Our consultants bring decades of combined experience across electrical, software, and electronic failure analysis. From a single residential outlet to a 1.8 MW wind turbine, we have the expertise, equipment, and laboratory resources to investigate failures at any scale.
We serve insurers, attorneys, and property owners from our offices in Dallas and Houston, with laboratory facilities in Corsicana, Texas. Our engineers are licensed across 27 states and regularly provide testimony nationwide.
