Description

The Effective Use of Forensic Experts in Construction Litigation Kerry L Kester ISBN 9781641053983

In today’s litigious environment, there is no guarantee that a construction project will avoid litigation or arbitration. Given the complexity of construction projects, judges, jurors, and arbitrators often lack the technical expertise to fully understand the nuances of construction disputes. To ensure fair outcomes, courts and arbitration panels rely on forensic technical experts—professionals who can identify, investigate, and analyze issues, and then present their findings in a clear and persuasive manner to facilitate just decisions. This book explores the critical role of expert witnesses and consultants in presenting or defending construction claims.

This guide is designed to:

  • Assist individuals aspiring to become forensic expert witnesses in construction

  • Help current expert witnesses refine their skills and enhance their effectiveness

  • Support those who engage expert witnesses, enabling them to interact with and utilize these professionals more efficiently and strategically

The ultimate goal is to strengthen collaboration between those who serve as expert witnesses and those who engage them, enabling teams to present construction issues clearly and convincingly. By making complex matters easier to understand, revealing the truth, and exposing any attempts to obscure it, this book provides a roadmap for achieving more persuasive and credible outcomes in construction litigation and arbitration.
