The primary objective of a forensic engineering report is typically to present defensible conclusions addressing concerns of a technical nature. These must be presented in a manner which is readily understandable to those who need to make use of these conclusions. The audience may therefore be other technical experts but likely include non-technical individuals. Where a report may be used in litigation, the likely recipients will be non-technical individuals.
These may be attorneys or adjusters, and may ultimately be the trier of fact, such as a judge, jury members, or arbitrator(s). Regardless of the thoroughness of any investigation or clarity of findings, the results and supporting arguments must be readily understood by the intended audience. The report may be the only opportunity to present the findings of the investigation. It may encompass the whole of any permitted testimony. Therefore, if details are not included, or the argument presented unintelligible, then, regardless of the soundness of the conclusions, the opinions presented may be rejected or at best misunderstood. This can have serious financial and legal consequences.
