Mechanical Engineering Expert Witnesses

ForensisGroup refers highly qualified mechanical engineering expert witnesses who can help you with your case. Our experts have background in various industries, including transportation, heating and cooling, manufacturing, construction, weaponry and more. Sometimes, mechanical systems have design defect or malfunctions, and the issue ends in a legal action. It takes a skilled mechanical engineer to serve as an expert to navigate the intricacies of mechanical systems and provide an objective analysis that can be used to resolve a legal dispute decisively.

A mechanical engineer expert witness can use his or her extensive knowledge of mechanical systems to clarify for the court exactly what — if anything — is the issue with a machine. This can help illuminate any liabilities or responsibilities involved and address the concerns of the aggrieved party. Mechanical engineering is a broad field that covers a variety of specialized disciplines, and ForensisGroup offers professionals in a number of these disciplines who can address the specific issues brought up in your case. We provide experts in agricultural equipment, mechanical design, industrial accidents, product defects, collisions, patent infringement, electrical accidents, inspections, aircraft, trucks, heavy equipment, manufacturing systems and more.
