Quality & Independence
QUALITY & INDEPENDENCE
Objective Engineering Judgment. Technical Rigor. Professional Accountability.
Garner Forensics exists to provide objective, independent, and technically rigorous forensic engineering services in support of insurance claims, legal matters, and dispute resolution.
The quality system is built around independence, ethics, due diligence, documented limitations, and defensible technical conclusions.
Quality Principles
Independence and Neutrality
Engineering judgment should remain free from bias, financial influence, outcome-driven pressure, or advocacy.
Public Protection and Ethics
Professional engineering obligations include public protection, ethical conduct, and responsibility to all parties affected by the investigation.
Technical Authority
Technical conclusions rest with the assigned Principal Investigator, who is accountable for the integrity and defensibility of the work.
Due Diligence
Investigations are conducted to the extent reasonably necessary within authorized scope. Assumptions, limitations, and uncertainties are documented.
Professional Conduct
Reports and communications are factual, neutral in tone, respectful, and free from advocacy or demeaning language.
Continuous Improvement
Processes are improved through review, lessons learned, corrective action, and quality-system discipline.
How Quality Shows Up in the Work
Quality is not just a policy statement. It affects intake, scope control, evidence review, analysis, reporting, communication, and follow-up authorization.
Professional Boundary
Garner Forensics provides engineering review and technical support, not legal advice, insurance coverage determinations, claim-adjusting decisions, or unscoped opinions.
Controlled Review Practices
Scope Definition
Work begins only after conflict review, written acceptance, and authorization of scope.
Documented Limitations
Missing records, site restrictions, evidence changes, assumptions, and uncertainty are identified where relevant.
Defensible Findings
Findings should be traceable to evidence, observations, engineering principles, and professional judgment.
