I provide expert engineering analysis for the insurance and legal communities to help them resolve property damage and personal injury disputes. I work on a case-by-case basis, and I'm always looking for intriguing assignments. I want to find and tell you the truth of the matter before anyone else does, so you can make smart business decisions to resolve it.I love my work because I get to grow in knowledge while applying my skills in new situations. I have a broad and deep knowledge base in Mechanical and Fire Protection Engineering. I have seen a lot in my 26 plus years as a Forensic Engineer and I bring that to bear for your case. I understand the consequences of technical conclusions on your legal position and the importance of preserving and documenting evidence. I can walk into a complex and confusing situation, sort out the important matters, and then communicate them clearly to you as my client. I have testified in over a dozen trials and given over sixty depositions.I believe in providing prompt service and calling in with regular status updates as an investigation progresses. I can work effectively by myself and as a member of a larger investigation team. While I have significant knowledge in these areas, I respect the abilities of the fire investigators, electrical engineers, metallurgists, and chemists that I get to work alongside of. Often I translate the technical language of other experts into language my clients (and jurors) can understand.I am based in the Dallas/Fort Worth area and travel as needed to loss locations across the country. I am licensed as a Professional Engineer in 29 states across the Southern, Western, Midwest, and New England regions of the U.S. (AL, AR, AZ, CA, CO, CT, FL, GA, ID, IL, KS, KY, LA, MA, MI, MS, MO, MT, NM, NC, OH, OK, OR, PA, SC, TN, TX, VA, WA, WI) I can be contacted most efficiently by phone 972-672-7599 or email rogertate@att.net. I look forward to working with you or working with you again.
