Expert Witness
|
You are probably wondering what an expert
witness page is doing on a robotics site. Well, robots can be
dangerous and sometimes they are involved in
accidents. Typically these accidents stem from a complex chain
of events and require a robotics expert to help sort out the
details. |

Expert witness work has gotten a bad
rap; primarily because of television shows that sometimes
portray expert witnesses as "hired guns" that will
say anything for a buck. I know you will
find this hard to believe, but the television portrayals are
not accurate. Expert testimony is held
to a very high standard. In a nutshell, the Daubert Decision
of the US Supreme Court from 1993 says that an expert's testimony must
be based on industry standards, peer-reviewed research or
repeatable experimentation. Furthermore, most cases where an
expert is involved are settled before going to trial. |

I occasionally work as a robotics
expert witness. Here is my expert
witness website. Finding an expert witness in almost any
field is not too hard. There are a number of online expert
witness directories.
