What We Do

rdv PE INC provides a comprehensive and detailed engineering analysis of the roadway characteristics and requirements in relation to the facts and evidence of the incident. We develop, analyze and advance related engineering issues involved in the incident in a unique and complementary perspective, analyze pre and post-collision landscapes, evaluate and determine the involved Independent Causal Variables (ICV) and help develop Responsibility Assignment (RA). We evaluate these roadway engineering requirements in light of the controlling design practices laws, regulations, guidelines, standards of care and accepted and standard practices and determine compliance deviations or missing elements of the controlling Agencies and Develop Findings and Observations leading to Engineering Opinions.

We are not Accident Reconstructionists but work with them in the Team Approach Environment common today on complex and major incident matters. We provide quality Court Room Graphics to be used as Exhibits, Figures, and Chalks. We present our Findings and Opinions in an experienced, thoughtful, and professional engineering level of detail and technical precision.

We translate complex engineering issues into common lay language that is easily and clearly understandable by non-technical jurors and judges.

In today’s environment, when many matters are not advancing to trial, a sound technically correct, understandable and compelling Engineered Stamped/Sealed Document brings a conclusion to many matters at an early stage.

Experienced with over 50 years of Engineering Design of Highways, Roadways, Streets, Privately Owned Parking Lots to which the Public is invited, rdv PE reports and opinions are known, respected, and conclusive.

We also bring to the Court Room, a technical witness that has experienced rigorous and detailed Cross Examination many times, a segment of the process during which many correct and sound technical points are challenged and we are defined with quiet confidence, experience, and accepted technical accuracy.

We can bring to the team, a unique documented and technically proficient examination of the incident and help support your theory of recovery of defense.
