Specialty Expert Witnesses
What Is a Specialty Expert Witness?
A specialty expert witness works in an industry that has its own regulations and operating standards and explains those standards to attorneys, judges, and juries. On this directory, the specialty group covers airports and aviation facilities, vessels and maritime operations, and pest control and entomology.
Attorneys retain these experts when a case depends on whether an airport operator, vessel owner or operator, property owner, landlord, or pest control company met the standard of care that applies in that industry. Attorneys can expect a review of the industry records that apply to the incident, followed by written opinions and deposition or trial testimony.
