Fires may occur in many different contexts; fire expert witnesses are often sought out for varying types of cases. Fire expert consultants may provide valuable insight for cases involving such areas as insurance coverage, civil engineering, mechanical engineering, fire protection and engineering, fire safety science, fire suppression, arson, wild land fire science, fire investigation, fire cause and origin, firefighting, fire service, fire and explosion investigation, electrical engineering, safety engineering, emergency response, electrical contracting, and other such issues, as each may pertain to a fire-related lawsuit.
Fire expert witnesses are often knowledgeable with the building code compliance that must be adhered to by various construction projects so as to prevent future fires or other types of problems. Electrical fires, appliance fires, explosions, fabric flammability, flammable liquids, pool fires, and oil and gas fires and explosions are all potential issues resulting from construction defects and other violations of flammability codes and standards, which would be grounds for possible lawsuits. Fire expert witnesses may be asked to provide an expert opinion based on the findings of a failure analysis, fire cause and origin investigation, fire and explosions investigation, or other type of evaluation, as a means of determining the source of the fire in question.
Other fire expert witnesses may have a background in automotive fire cause and origin, boat fires, truck fires, and fires in outdoor settings. Fire suppression systems, fire retardants, and other forms of safety protection are often important factors in such cases.
