Applying Human Factors Throughout Litigation

Human factors analysis contributes value throughout the legal process, from early case assessment and expert evaluation through depositions and trial testimony. Our experts examine incident conditions, decision-making processes, and user interactions to deliver scientifically grounded insights at each stage of the legal process. Findings are developed independently based on scientific methods and may inform evolving case theories or evidentiary considerations.

Behavior & Perception Analysis in Liability Cases

Our human factors experts examine how individuals perceive, process, and react to information and stimuli in real-world environments. These assessments include evaluating attention, fatigue, decision-making, memory, and response time. Our behavior and perception assessments help clients determine whether human performance was consistent with expected norms under the conditions present.
