Maritime Personal Injury

A Maritime Personal Injury Expert Witness is an individual with expertise regarding maritime related incidents involving personal injuries. Specifically, these experts are knowledgeable and experienced in providing scientific and technical evidence related to past and present injuries or other losses caused by a variety of maritime objects, such as motorboats, maritime structures and equipment, watercrafts, ropes or hawsers. Additionally, the expert witness in question is responsible for testifying in court for both plaintiffs and defendants regarding the nature of an incident’s circumstances.


In addition to offering their legal services within courtrooms, Maritime Personal Injury Expert Witnesses also provide evaluations and reports that may be used as evidence. These specialists have certifications such as commercial shipping licenses that allow them to demonstrate knowledge about areas such as marine design, mechanical engineering or vessel navigation including chart plotting. This enables them to assess marine accidents comprehensively while referencing relevant engineering information; thus they can often be a strong asset during offshore disputes relating to maritime law.


Due to the complicated process of examining potential cases of marine casualties from a technical perspective coupled with their experience participating in legal hearings when representing clients — it is no shock that these experts charge high fees depending on their unique set of qualification(s) such as location or specialty area(s). As far litigation goes — when seeking counsel specifically related to matters outlined by The Jones Act — choosing the right Maritime Personal Injury Expert Witness can mean ultimate success for making claims pertaining under this law pass successfully through court proceedings.
