Applied Technical Services can aid in the event of litigation by providing construction equipment expert witnesses. Accidents are common on construction sites, given the hazardous environment. Machinery can sometimes undergo critical failure that could result in bodily harm or even fatal injury. To combat these factors, OSHA created standards that strictly outline protocols that all workers must follow to uphold safe working conditions on the jobsite. When a worksite accident does occur, ATS can provide an expert witness to support either the defense or the plaintiff in litigation.
