Diesel Expert Witnesses
Diesel expert witness candidates typically have extensive experience and a background in automotive engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, and/or vehicle manufacturing. An automotive engineer specializing in diesel technology may also have knowledge in biofuels. In addition to trucks, diesel is prevalent in heavy equipment, railroad, military and highway vehicles.
Cahn Litigation Services is frequently called upon by law firms to locate an expert witness that can support issues involving diesel engine and related matters, on behalf of either the plaintiff or defendant. Cahn Litigation Services has seen cases involving diesel engines, diesel combustion, diesel emissions, diesel fueling system sensors, and diesel fuel nozzles. When an expert is needed, Cahn Litigation Services will hone in on experts with precisely the rights skillset and experience for the job at hand.
A diesel fuel expert could provide expertise in intellectual property matters — a patent litigation in federal court or a trade secret dispute. It could be a patent infringement case in the District Court, or a patent case or proceeding in the International Trade Commission (ITC). An expert in diesel fuel and systems might provide testimony in matters such as a product liability case or accident investigation.
Litigation support by a diesel expert witness could include an expert report, forensic engineering, expert opinion, accident reconstruction and/or courtroom testimony. In a high-profile case, or litigation involving a significant financial stake, a law firm may request a technical expert with prior expert witness experience. It is essential that an expert witness possess the ability to provide expert testimony in such a manner that a jury and judge can understand the evidence.
