John Batavich is an electrical engineer at Thornton Tomasetti specializing in forensic investigations for insurance carriers, adjusters, and legal professionals. He determines the cause, origin, and scope of electrical failures in fires affecting structures and vehicles, and in incidents involving alleged third-party or product liability that result in injury or property damage.

John evaluates electrical damage in fire- and water-damaged buildings, applying his knowledge of electrical code requirements and the effects of fire, heat, and moisture on electrical systems. He also investigates lightning- and surge-related losses, validates electrical damage claims, and identifies construction defects that contribute to failures.

Through this work, John provides clear technical findings that help clients resolve claims, pursue subrogation, and meet expert witness needs in complex forensic engineering matters.
