Automotive

ESi's Automotive Team brings together a diverse team of engineers, mechanics, technicians, scientists, and researchers, and equips them with technology needed to gather complex data and provide the most comprehensive analysis possible to our clients.

With members of our team stationed at each of ESi’s offices throughout the country, we are able to deploy the Automotive Practice Group to the site of any automotive accident, regardless of location. When time is of the essence, our Forensic Accident Strategic Team (FAST) can be deployed to the site of an accident within hours to begin capturing data for use by ESi or another organization.

The FAST team is often sent to the site of accidents where it is critical to the investigation to gather data quickly, but carefully, due to changing weather conditions, time-sensitive materials involved in the accident, and other factors that can alter the condition of the accident site.
