Subrogation & Expert Witness Support

Identifying Liable Parties:
Delivering Defensible Testimony

Forensic Engineering for Subrogation & Expert Witness:
Expert Reports, Testimony & Consultation

When incidents involving technical failures, equipment malfunctions, fires, or explosions lead to financial losses and potential disputes, you require definitive answers and credible expertise.

Precise, evidence-based forensic engineering is essential for determining causation, identifying liable parties to maximize subrogation recovery, and providing authoritative expert witness testimony.

Mission Critical Forensics offers trusted forensic engineering services for subrogation and expert witness testimony in Toronto and across Ontario. We provide the robust technical foundation necessary for insurance companies and legal firms to effectively pursue recovery and build irrefutable cases.

A Unique Legal and Technical Advantage:

What sets our expert witness practice apart is the combination of deep technical investigation experience and legal fluency. Principal Engineer Alicia Yan, P.Eng., CFEI has built her investigation background across dozens of complex losses — transformer failures, switchgear fires, cable faults, BESS incidents, and high-value equipment breakdowns across commercial, industrial, and mission-critical settings — giving her the technical foundation to form defensible opinions on the losses that matter most. She also holds a Global Professional Master of Laws (GPLLM) — not to practise law, but to build her technical opinions for the legal arena from the start. That legal literacy translates directly to the practice of an expert who can navigate the demands of litigation — understanding how evidence is weighed, how reports are challenged, and how to support counsel’s strategy — while maintaining the technical objectivity that keeps testimony unimpeachable.
