What Introtech does

Introtech Accident Reconstruction and Forensics is a privately held, family-owned professional services firm founded in 1989 and headquartered in Grafton, Ohio, with a regional office in Port St. Lucie, Florida. The firm provides forensic accident reconstruction and ancillary investigative services to insurance carriers, legal professionals (plaintiff and defense), federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies, and academic institutions across all 50 U.S. states. Services span a broad portfolio: vehicle-type-specific reconstruction (car, commercial, motorcycle, bicycle, pedestrian, boat/watercraft, ATV, farm, and construction equipment), forensic toxicology, forensic video analysis, Event Data Recorder (EDR) extraction, human factors analysis, impact biomechanics, occupant kinematics, mechanical inspection, lamp filament analysis, ballistic analysis, and private investigation. The firm also delivers paid training programs to law enforcement agencies and universities.

The firm's technical platform is anchored by 3D scanning hardware (FARO) with point cloud processing (FARO REALITY, CloudCompare), drone-based aerial documentation, Bosch Crash Data Retrieval (CDR) for EDR analysis, and forensic video and image analysis software (Axon Investigate, Amped FIVE). Staff credentials include multiple ACTAR-accredited reconstructionists, FBI Academy training, and over 200 years of combined investigative experience drawn from military and law enforcement backgrounds. Court-qualified expert testimony is the primary deliverable: the firm has logged 200+ depositions across juvenile, municipal, county, and federal courts and references case outcomes including an $89.7M jury verdict in a commercial trucking matter.

The business model is professional services on a per-assignment, quote-based pricing structure with no disclosed fees, no marketplace or reseller channels, and no external investment. Sales motion is direct engagement via website contact form, phone, and 24/7 on-call expert availability. Marketing relies on earned media (New York Post, Fox News, CNN coverage of major cases), published case studies, professional association memberships (NAPARS, SAE, IAMI, ACTAR, NATARI, SOFT), and training engagements that double as referral pipelines. Ownership is concentrated in the Lipian family: Henry Lipian (founder, President, former Coast Guard Lieutenant and Ohio State Highway Patrol trooper), Daniel Lipian (President and forensic toxicologist), Barbara Lipian (VP), and Melinda Lipian (Managerial Accountant).
