YA Group acquires Bloomberg Consulting
YA Group, a Nashville-based provider of forensic consulting, engineering, and risk mitigation services, has acquired Bloomberg Consulting, a Pensacola, FL-based forensics firm specializing in vehicle accident reconstruction.
Founded in 2000, Bloomberg provides services in vehicle accident reconstruction, biomechanical analysis, motor carrier compliance, and the extraction and analysis of digital data from heavy trucks, passenger vehicles, GPS, and other electronic devices. The firm delivers rapid response services and deployment of reconstruction experts within hours of an incident.
Bloomberg has practices in accident reconstruction include trucking accident rapid response, event data recorders (EDR/black box), biomechanics and injury causation, digital forensics, and motor carrier compliance.
YA Group will roll Bloomberg into YA Engineering Services (YAES), its forensic engineering subsidiary.
The deal will grow YA Engineering Services’ accident reconstruction and biomechanical services offerings, as well as its US footprint. The Bloomberg team will now work with a larger and deeper team of experts, including an advanced team of graphics designers and forensic animators.
"Bloomberg is recognized as a leader in accident reconstruction and related services in the heavy trucking industry and will be a fantastic addition to our rapidly growing accident reconstruction services group,” said Wade Bushman, CEO of YA. “YA and Bloomberg share cultural values along with an employee-first model, and we could not be more pleased to have their talented team of experts joining the YA Team."
YA Group has over 600 professionals across its companies, which include Young & Associates, YA Engineering Services, and Guardian Group International, a Los Angeles-headquartered construction claims consulting firm that was acquired last year.
