Knowledge is Power
Because Thomas J. Henry Injury Attorneys believe that each client deserves to have the best resources available, we enlist a wide array of expert witnesses to help in the resolution of your case. In utilizing expert witnesses, it is vital that you research each and every person before employing them for your case. We have spent a tremendous amount of time in selecting our experts and only use the best in the nation for our clients.
What is An Expert Witness?
An expert witness, also known as a judicial expert, is an additional witness, who by virtue of education, training, skill, or experience, is believed to have expertise and specialized knowledge in a particular subject that an average person may not have. In addition to an expert's opinion, they may also deliver expert evidence by visiting the accident site or by using facts from the field of their expertise.
How An Expert Can Help Your Case
Since 1782, expert witnesses have been used in litigation. Experts are relied on for opinions ranging from severity of injury to loss of earnings to cause of failure in a machine. For example, the work of forensic accountants may be important to assess damages and costs in a personal injury case.
Recently, because cell phones and electronics have become an essential part of many people's lives, hiring a computer forensics expert can help to retrieve important data from devices including the Iphone and hard drives to use as evidence in legal cases.
Choosing the Best Expert Witness
It is vitally important to find the right expert for your case. Both experts and fields of expertise are highly specialized and compartmentalized. Just because an expert is effective in one subject area does not mean he or she will be effective in another, even closely-related, area. Similarly, experts who are successful in one geographical area may not "sell" in another. At Thomas J. Henry Injury Attorneys, we secure the best expert witnesses for your case. Each expert witness we engage has been thoroughly examined and questioned before ever participating in your case.
Expert Information For You
We have included a list of the types of experts we have previously used in cases in order to give you a comprehensive understanding of how different experts could be used in your case. This list is broken up into case type and then each expert title will have a description of exactly what they do.
Please keep in mind that this list will continue to grow. There are always new and creative ways to use an expert and we will continue to research and develop our resources in order to ensure we are enlisting the most qualified people to assist in your case.
