Chemistry Expert Witnesses

ForensisGroup refers chemistry expert witnesses to attorneys for cases related to product liability, patents, environmental pollution, and other complex cases. Chemist expert witnesses can provide expert opinion on environment issues, household items, workplace safety, or industrial matters.

Chemicals can prove hazardous to environmental health and safety in ways that affect the surrounding human population and community. Some chemistry-centered lawsuits, for instance, revolve around the issue of unsafe drinking water that has been affected by hazardous chemical spill. Such cases would require an expert opinion from a chemistry expert witness on whether the chemical handling and laboratory testing met proper codes and compliance. Rules and regulation are very important in the field, whether it concerns organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, or environmental chemicals.

Chemistry expert witnesses may also have experience with toxicology and hazardous materials in relation to occupational and environmental health. The employee safety of an industrial field, for instance, would be susceptible to health issues and injuries resulting from asbestos, carcinogenesis, and other chemical-related pollution. Chemistry is also utilized in personal care products, consumer electronics, cosmetics, and other commonly used items, all of which should implement safety labels and warnings, as not doing so may be cause for a lawsuit.

ForensisGroup has a history of success in providing attorneys with highly qualified experts. Call us today or submit an expert request form to retain a credible chemistry expert witness for your matter.
