Airports Expert Witnesses

There are many types of litigation requiring the expertise of an airport expert witness, such as premise liability, construction defect, airline business disputes, and others. Airports are a product of complex engineering requiring a strong background in design and construction, among other structural skills. Airport expert witnesses must take several factors under consideration when building an airport, so acquiring an expert witness with relevant experience can be a major determining factor for the outcome of your case.

Since airports serve the transportation needs of public consumers, the design, construction, and maintenance of such buildings are the responsibility of engineers and airline industry professionals. The design of an airport must meet certain requirements for safety purposes in terms of facility planning and design. The FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) implements a set of rules and regulations that engineers must follow when designing and constructing an airport. The violation of these important codes could jeopardize the safety of pilots, travelers, and airport employees, which may lead to possible lawsuits.

The design of airports is very important, since a problem with acoustics can result in major issues with safety and noise pollution. Communication is a significant aspect of airport structure, whether it is the audibility of warning devices and signals, making sure the communication system works within the terminal, or the impact of airport noise on the surrounding community.

As with any major projects such as an airport, economics and finance are factors to consider in airline management, in addition to the construction and maintenance of the airport. Airports depend on economic efficiency, market planning, and finances to operate successfully. Any possible errors in these business plans could result in economic damages, failures in operations, or even potential litigation.

The construction and economics of airports must adhere to a set of regulations, as safety and liability are at risk if an error were to occur.
