Eastern Forensic Science Group is an association of forensic experts under the direction of Senior Accident Reconstructionist Sal Fariello. The firm specializes in airbag defects and injuries, motor vehicle, pedestrian, motorcycle, watercraft and bicycle accident reconstruction and crash injury biomechanics, human factors, tire failure analysis, and also motor vehicle and watercraft fire reconstruction. We provide attorneys with answers to the following types of questions:

bulletAre the injuries claimed really attributable to the crash?
bulletAre the eyewitnesses reliable?
bulletWho caused the crash?
bulletWas excessive speed or a roadway defect involved?
bulletWas alcohol consumption demonstrably a
contributing factor?
bulletDid an airbag or seatbelt fail to function properly and thereby contribute to injury?
bulletDoes on-board computer "black box" data reveal anything important about the cause of the crash?
bulletDid a crash occur because of a defective tire?
bulletWas a vehicle fire the result of a defect or negligent repair?

 

We are not jack-of-all-trades generalists. We do not do slip and fall cases, elevator accidents, step ladders, etc. Our practice is very narrowly restricted to accidents involving airbags, motor vehicles, bicycles, motorcycles, vehicle/pedestrian collisions, watercraft, and vehicle fire reconstruction. 

 

BIG CASE EXPERIENCE

We have substantial experience in high profile, multimillion-dollar cases, especially cases involving automobile manufacturers. In Skelton v. General Motors our senior analyst Sal Fariello was the only expert consultant in the case and he was instrumental in bringing about a settlement in excess of $17,000,000. Mr. Fariello was retained as a motor vehicle forensic expert to help analyze the remains of the Ford van used in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing case.

 

SETTLEMENT SUCCESS

Just about any consultant can get lucky and help win a trial. But a record of consistent success in aiding clients in obtaining fair settlements is more important than an occasional trial victory. We are selective about the cases we accept and our clients tell the story about our exceptional results. Check out what our clients are saying in REFERENCES.

 

BALANCED PLAINTIFF'S AND DEFENSE WORK

We do a fairly equal mix of plaintiffs' and defense-related work. Accordingly, we have never been accused of pro-insurance company bias, pro-plaintiff bias, or any other bias. The only real bias we have is in favor of good science and excellent service to our clients. That's why Sal Fariello, the firm's senior accident reconstructionist, is one of only a few accident reconstruction experts who has been specially appointed by a Court three times in a criminal DUI homicide case because of the judge's confidence that the Court would get an unbiased opinion.
