Litigation Support
Armstrong Forensic Laboratory has provided litigation support from its beginning. While the field of forensics has become popularized in the media, it is a necessary part of the Judicial System. Separating fact from fiction requires people with knowledge, skill and objectivity. Armstrong Forensic Laboratory has always been proud of the litigation support provided to our clients.
All reports produced by Armstrong Forensic Laboratory are court ready when provided to the Client. Armstrong Forensic Laboratory‘s data have been used in Litigation for all areas of our expertise. Origin and Cause, product contamination; worker safety, rekindling, evidence handling; product failure, and “what is fire?” have all been addressed in court by Armstrong Forensic Laboratory. Sound scientific principles are applied to identify chemical interactions and hazards that may result in personnel injury or damage to property. These same principles have allowed many manufacturers to successfully defend their products against frivolous accusations.
