Engineering Answers That Matter
Tuesday, May 13th, 2025 DDA Forensics DDA Forensics Advances in Forensic Engineering: Redefining Structural Analysis in Claims InvestigationsNot all questions have easy answers in insurance claims. What caused the damage? Was it wind, water, poor construction, or all three? What needs to be repaired—and what doesn’t? These aren’t just technical questions—they’re the foundation of the claim itself. At DDA Forensics, answering those questions isn’t just our job. It’s our mission.
DDA Forensics is a multidisciplinary forensic engineering and building consulting firm built for the insurance and legal industries. We specialize in causation, scope, and pricing evaluations for residential and commercial structures, with licensed engineers and veteran contractors working side by side to deliver objective, defensible results.
We know how critical our determinations are. A single phrase in a report can impact subrogation, settlement value, or a policyholder’s outcome. That’s why our team approaches every case with precision, clarity, and a commitment to impartiality. Whether inspecting a post-hurricane condo complex in Florida or conducting a peer review from documentation in Texas, we apply the same systematic, science-based methodology every time.
What sets DDA apart is our ability to bridge disciplines. Many of our team members started their careers as litigation adjusters and contractors before becoming expert consultants. That background gives us a unique advantage—we speak the languages of both engineering and insurance, helping adjusters translate technical findings into practical claims action.
We operate across Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, and Texas, responding quickly with the expertise needed to resolve complex cases. From total loss fire investigations to wind-versus-flood disputes, we’ve seen it all—and we know how to separate what’s relevant from what’s not.
In the courtroom, we’re trial-tested expert witnesses. In the field, we’re trusted investigators. In negotiations, we’re the calm voice in the storm. Above all, we believe that every claim deserves an honest answer—delivered with clarity, confidence, and care.
Whether you need a licensed engineer to determine structural failure or a certified contractor to validate pricing and repair methodology, DDA Forensics is ready to support your next case with the depth of knowledge and integrity that complex claims demand.
