Physics Expert Witnesses

Physics expert witnesses are scientists with expertise concerning the relationship between motion, matter, and energy. Physicist experts may be called upon to offer an expert opinion regarding the subject matter of various types of cases. Physics expert consulting may be beneficial for lawsuits involving numerous industries, including mechanical engineering and design engineering, as well as the study of physics in relation to different types of accidents.

Physics expert witnesses may be asked to evaluate and comment on the results of an accident investigation and reconstruction, whether it involves automotives, construction sites, or slips, trips, and falls, since an understanding of physics may serve as a means of validating the scenario as told by those involved with the accident in question. The physics of biomechanics and design engineering may also be highly relevant in identifying the cause of an accident after conducting a thorough failure analysis.

Physics expert witnesses are often involved in electrical engineering with the design and manufacture of semiconductors, in addition to other types of electronic equipment and electronic systems. As with any type of developing technology, however, such equipment and machinery may be subject to a lawsuit based on issues related to patent infringement and validity, as well as trade secret misappropriation. Utilizing laboratories to test for reliability is a major aspect of physics, as failing to conduct such tests may result in product defects and other such issues.

Looking to find the right physics expert witness? ForensisGroup will provide a highly qualified expert based on the results of a rigorous screening process, so call us today or Submit An Expert Request Form to retain a credible physics expert witness for your case.
