Wyman Enterprises, Inc. provides expert evidence documentation and litigation support services for personal injury and product liability cases, as well as for matters related to risk management, land use/zoning and traffic engineering.
Uniquely suited to provide these services, Wyman Enterprises, Inc. draws upon experience in the fields of photography, traffic engineering, emergency management and accident investigation to provide a total package that is easily used by clients and easily understood by victims, witnesses and jurors.
Evidence documentation tasks typically include photos, videos, detailed accident site measurements, 2D scaled diagrams, 3D scaled models, analysis of third-party photos/videos, computer graphics, and research of engineering and safety standards.
Applications typically include automobile crashes, pedestrian accidents, industrial accidents, land use/zoning applications, training manuals and community presentations.
End-users include attorneys, investigators, engineers, accident reconstructionists, risk managers, insurance representatives and citizen-involvement groups.
Wyman Enterprises, Inc. photos, diagrams and reports have been used in hundreds of accident, safety and land use cases throughout South Florida since 1988. Robert Wyman, President, is a former Traffic Engineer, Traffic Analyst and Emergency Management Coordinator for Miami-Dade County government. He has also served as Special Event Coordinator for the City of Miami Police Department.
Mr. Wyman is accepted as an expert witness in evidence documentation, traffic safety and traffic engineering issues by courts, planning commissions and zoning authorities throughout South Florida.
Our documentation assignments are quite diverse. For example, vehicular traffic crashes may require extensive photos, measurements and scaled drawings of the crash site. Traffic crashes with personal injuries may additionally require vehicle damage photos, damage (crush) measurements and photos of occupant injuries, medical procedures, post-accident scars and day-in-life photo essays. In contrast, only a single, detailed photo of a component failure may be needed for a product liability case.
Whether in-depth or strategically simple, our photo essays, technical reports, scaled drawings, scaled models, computer graphics and engineering research have won cases and reduced hazards.
