01
Technical case assessment
Review records and available evidence; identify the central technical issues, competing hypotheses, evidentiary gaps, and next investigative steps.
Typical output: Case assessment memorandum.
Independent interdisciplinary consulting
Where medical evidence meets engineering analysis.
Clear thinking for complex forensic questions.
Technical case analysis, scientific investigation, and coordination across specialties for law firms and forensic consulting organizations.
Florida-based · Nationwide remote analytical support
Complex cases rarely belong to one discipline.
The value is in connecting the evidence, identifying the unanswered questions, and making the separate analyses work together.
Services
What I can do for your case
Desk-based investigative and analytical services, defined by the actual question, the available evidence, and the required deliverable.
02
Medical–engineering evidence integration
Organize and reconcile medical records, engineering documents, event chronologies, technical reports, and existing specialist findings.
Typical output: Integrated evidence review.
03
Mechanism and failure investigation
Examine plausible injury and mechanical failure mechanisms using established principles, supplied evidence, and targeted scientific research. Identify what can and cannot be concluded.
Typical output: Mechanism analysis memorandum.
04
Scientific literature and standards research
Find, evaluate, and synthesize peer-reviewed research, technical references, and potentially relevant standards in relation to a specific case question.
Typical output: Annotated research memorandum.
05
Interdisciplinary expert coordination
Develop technical questions for radiologists, clinicians, engineers, reconstructionists, and other specialists; communicate with retained experts and integrate their independent findings.
Typical output: Expert briefing and synthesis.
06
Litigation and forensic team support
Prepare technical chronologies, evidence matrices, expert-interview questions, deposition research, and concise written summaries for case teams.
Typical output: Case-team working materials.
The approach
Not another silo. A connecting perspective.
One case may involve an engineer studying a physical system, a radiologist interpreting images, and a physician addressing the clinical record. Each provides a specialized perspective. My role is to help the retaining team ask the right cross-disciplinary questions and understand how those findings relate.
Specialists remain responsible for their own professional opinions. I provide the analytical structure, communication, research, and synthesis that connect their work.
01
Frame the problem
Clarify the disputed issue, materials, scope, and what decision the analysis needs to inform.
02
Investigate and connect
Review records, test competing explanations against available evidence, and identify questions for specialists.
03
Make the findings usable
Deliver a clear memorandum, research synthesis, evidence matrix, or case-team briefing.
Case types
Especially relevant where disciplines overlap.
Injury mechanisms and biomechanics
Connecting reported physical events, mechanical principles, medical records, and existing specialist analyses.
Medical devices and biomedical systems
Investigating device function, technical documentation, proposed failures, and clinical context.
Mechanical failures with human consequences
Tracing possible failure pathways and integrating engineering questions with injury or medical evidence.
Technically complex litigation
Cases involving multiple experts, extensive records, inconsistent explanations, or difficult scientific questions.
Litigation support
Consulting today. Expert testimony as part of the practice.
My primary service is independent technical consulting and case analysis. I am also available to discuss potential expert-witness engagements involving subjects within my education, knowledge, and demonstrable expertise.
Any testimony engagement is evaluated individually, including the specific opinions sought, applicable evidentiary requirements, and whether my qualifications are suitable for the assignment. I do not offer medical standard-of-care testimony.
Important: Expert opinions in specialized fields, including radiology and other clinical specialties, remain the responsibility of appropriately qualified specialists.
Background
Built on an unusual combination of disciplines.
Dr. Flavio brings together mechanical engineering, doctoral-level biomedical engineering, and medical education with decades of experience in research, teaching, writing, and complex problem-solving.
That background supports an investigative approach grounded in scientific literature, technical reasoning, clear documentation, and an appreciation for the relationship between engineered systems and human physiology.
He holds an engineering-in-training (EIT) credential and a restricted Florida medical license. He does not represent himself as a licensed professional engineer, a board-certified medical specialist, or a physician holding an unrestricted license.
