ROOT CAUSE FORENSICS, INC.
PALM HARBOR, FLORIDA

It is a team of one until the work requires it to be different. Then it is my philosophy, my team, with the numbers and composition needed. Practically speaking, for most clients, on large matters, the location of the company is not relevant. Much of the defense and product liability work is carried out years after the loss, hundreds of miles from the loss site, from one or more file boxes full of documents from Counsel including productions from all sides of the matter. Much of the other work is on losses so valuable and technically complex, it requires technical expertise that is typically flown in to the loss site examination anyway. From time to time, a more precise analytical result is required than is possible with our laboratory equipment. It is the founding philosophy of Root Cause Forensic Science and Engineering to purchase, retain and maintain only the most precise, reliable, durable and above all low-cost-of-ownership, low-maintenance laboratory equipment to keep overheads low on files that do not require more equipment. Consequently, Root Cause Forensic Science and Engineering does not now have, and will never attempt to maintain a modern, full-featured electron microscope, a parts-per-billion chemical testing laboratory or a full range of industrial X-ray units that can image anything. All of these services are available at dedicated analytical testing services companies, some with 24 hour drop off facilities, all with fast and, if the matter needs it, expedited turn around times. Even if Root Cause Forensic Science and Engineering has an in-house capability and competency, the client may request that an investigation use a particular certified analytical testing laboratory for sample processing. Any results are then independently certified by an independent laboratory, by a professional who does nothing but that particular analytical testing, on the best equipment, and has done so for decades. Root Cause Forensic Science and Engineering recognizes there is a level above good, competent and sufficient for the task, and that is why clients choose us. A New Company Dedicated to the Science of Finding the Cause
