Mr. Jeffrey John Mason

I am a Chartered Mechanical Engineer with over 20 years of engineering experience across several industries including aerospace, automotive and oil and gas. I am based in the Newcastle Upon Tyne office and work closely with Mr Jim Garry, Senior Partner of Strange Strange and Gardner. I have undertaken investigations and prepared reports in relation to commercial disputes, work related injuries and fatalities, personal injuries, slips, trips and falls, product design and product safety and conformity. I have also provided expert advice to the police and have given evidence as an expert witness in Court.

The firm is principally involved in safety matters where litigation is or may be expected, providing professional expert opinion by way of comprehensive reports and if necessary, attending to give evidence at Court. Instructions are also received in relation to potential accidents, commercial cases such as damage to property and disputes arising from failure of equipment to perform to anticipated levels. The firm is consulted mainly by Solicitors (either unilaterally or on a Single Joint Expert basis), Insurance Companies and/or Loss Adjusters where an incident has caused death, personal injury or disease or where there has been some form of failure to plant or equipment.

Each investigation usually involves an inspection of the equipment and site concerned, followed by the preparation of a comprehensive report supported by photographs, drawings and calculations where required. The report considers the implications of any relevant statutes and published authoritative literature, including Health and Safety Executive and British Standard documentation
