Role and Responsibility of the Expert Witness - Engineer

An engineer expert witness (EEW) is an individual with specialized knowledge in the field of engineering who provides assistance to the judicial system, including judges, juries, and lawyers, in understanding the technical aspects of a case. They may be called upon to elucidate on how scientific principles and theories are relevant to specific situations involving laws and regulations. The scope of testimony provided by the EEW can cover a broad range of topics such as speed measuring devices, vehicle equipment, and traffic control devices. It is important to note that all of our conclusions are drawn from evidence-based data, ensuring that they are not based on mere speculation or unreliable pseudo science.
