Role of Expert Witnesses in a Personal Injury Claim

Answer:

The role of expert witnesses in personal injury cases and claims in Florida is very important depending on the nature of the case and the nature of the claim. Expert witnesses allow us to attach science to the facts, those building blocks or bricks that encompass how the incident or accident happened, and then sometimes getting an expert involved allows us to take that to the next level and let the expert talk about the science behind it and why your claim is the claim that we’re presenting and why your claim is so important to folks like you who have suffered through the fault of others, none of your own.

At Goldstein Buckley Cechman, Rice & Purtz, we are committed to finding, not only experts but the right experts on your case. When an expert is needed, we first approach you. We don’t just hire the expert. We run it by you. We give you the pros, the cons, and let you know what the expert can do and then we certainly give you our opinion and analysis, but the decision on what to do when hiring an expert is up to you, the cost of which we cover. We don’t ask for a check. You’ll never see a bill from us in the mail for an expert. We cover those things and we work through you to find experts that we know well will represent your interest best throughout the case and at trial.
