We have past legal experience with both product liability cases and product failure cases.
Dr. Olson has participated in numerous fire investigations involving lithium-ion batteries. We have observed evidence that can sometimes differentiate between a cell potentially starting a fire and one consumed in the fire. Forensics of lithium-ion battery fires are extremely challenging.
On the lead-acid battery side, Dr. Olson can opine on the technical aspects of battery explosions. These are typically caused by an external spark, and not by the battery itself.
Dr. Olson also has experience with various patent cases, often related to areas of battery management and pack construction.
