Applied Technical Services is an automotive expert witness in legal proceedings involving transportation and motor vehicles. Traffic collisions are daily occurrences that often result in personal injury, property damage, and legal disputes. While the causes of an accident may seem straightforward, unforeseen factors often contribute to or even cause the event. Automotive experts analyze these factors to determine the causes, attribute fault, and aid in litigation by serving as expert witnesses.
What is an Expert Witness?
An expert witness has extensive knowledge, experience, or training with a specific occupation or subject matter, qualifying them as an expert in the court of law. The expert uses their expertise to develop an objective opinion on the contributing causes of a dispute. Unlike a lay witness, an expert may not be present at the scene of an accident, so they rely on evidence and lay witness testimony to develop their understanding of the case’s particulars.
Why are Automotive Expert Witnesses Important?
Automotive experts offer essential insight into motor vehicle technical and complicated functions. While many of us may see traffic collisions as a consequence of driver error, automotive experts carefully consider all factors when examining evidence. Automotive expert witnesses have an in-depth understanding of the following:
- Automotive Engineering
- Automotive Technology
- Commercial Vehicles
- Manufacturer Defects
- Manufacturer Warranties
- Recalls
