Due to the advancement in the field of technology it is becoming more important for the legal professional to make use of forensic experts. In the field of forensic engineering it is important that certain standards must apply, and it is therefore necessary to be sure of the credentials of the expert used. At Du Métier we are proud to say that all our experts have the necessary tertiary qualifications and applicable experience in the field of forensic science.

SERVICES OFFERED

THE LEGAL PROFESSION

For the legal expert we offer services for the reconstruction of motor vehicle accidents, which include mechanical failures, speed calculations and vehicle dynamics (vehicle behaviour during the accident). These services will assist the legal expert to prepare for litigation and to gain the advantage over the opposition in litigation. All factors and facts in the investigation of a particular accident will be made available to the legal professional, so that he/she will be made aware of any factors in his/her favour or factors that might influence the case in a negative manner.

TRANSPORT COMPANIES

All services are as offered to the legal profession. Added to these we offer training to members of your staff for the initial on-site investigation, which will include law related matters, the drawing up of a useful plan of the accident scene and other subjects related to the investigation of vehicle accidents.
