Laboratory Expert Witnesses

Start Laboratory Expert Search

Laboratory expert witness candidates typically have areas of expertise in chemistry, materials science, forensic toxicology, forensic science, and/or clinical pathology. In a high-profile case, or litigation involving a significant financial stake, a law firm may require a specialist with prior expert witness testimony experience.

Litigation support by a laboratory expert could involve intellectual property matters such as a patent infringement or a trade secret dispute. A laboratory expert might also provide testimony in a medical case that requires toxicology expertise, or a product failure. Additionally, laboratory testing of evidence, for example DNA evidence, can be pivotal in assisting law enforcement with a crime scene investigation. Clients may also seek an experienced laboratory professional for pre-litigation consulting services.

Litigation support services by a laboratory expert witness could include failure analysis, forensic engineering, chemical analysis, expert report preparation, deposition, expert opinion, and/or courtroom testimony. When the need for a laboratory expert witness arises, top legal professionals call on Cahn Litigation Services. Exemplary matters have involved:
