Orinda, CA - Peter R. Thom & Associates Inc, a nationally recognized automotive forensic consulting firm based in Orinda, California, is commemorating over 35 years of service to the legal, insurance, and regulatory sectors. With a reputation built on technical accuracy and objective analysis, the firm continues to serve as a critical resource in resolving complex vehicle-related cases across the United States.
Founded by Peter R. Thom, the company has developed a strong foundation in automotive systems investigation, crash dynamics, and failure analysis. Since its inception, the firm has focused on providing clear, evidence-supported evaluations in disputes involving vehicles, from collisions and product liability claims to component failures and occupant safety concerns.
A core strength of the firm lies in its work in car accident forensic analysis, a field that involves the reconstruction of vehicle crashes to determine their causes and contributing factors. This process requires a multidisciplinary approach, combining engineering, data interpretation, and real-world physical inspection. The firm's consultants examine crash scenes, retrieve and analyze Event Data Recorder (EDR) information, and assess vehicle damage to establish how an incident occurred. These findings often play a key role in litigation, where liability and technical factors must be clearly understood.
Peter R. Thom & Associates Inc brings decades of experience to cases involving both modern and legacy vehicles, including electric, hybrid, and autonomous models. As vehicles continue to evolve, the firm has remained current with emerging technologies, such as advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), onboard infotainment data, and digital sensor networks, to ensure their analyses reflect the realities of today's driving environments.
The team's capabilities extend beyond crash reconstruction. Consultants are trained in areas such as occupant biomechanics, tire forensics, highway design, fire cause and origin, visibility and perception studies, and human factors analysis. These disciplines often intersect in serious incidents where questions of driver behavior, environmental conditions, or system failure come into play.
While the firm operates nationwide, each case is handled with a detailed, case-specific approach. Clients include attorneys, insurance carriers, public agencies, and private individuals seeking clarity in vehicle-related disputes. The firm's work has been admitted in courtrooms across the country, where its findings and expert testimony have helped inform settlements, verdicts, and regulatory decisions.
Peter R. Thom & Associates Inc continues to offer expert insight grounded in technical excellence and a commitment to factual reporting. As vehicle technology becomes increasingly complex, the firm remains a trusted partner for those seeking definitive answers in automotive forensic cases.
