Digital imaging expert witness candidates need substantive expertise and extensive experience, as well as possess the ability to explain video evidence, digital evidence, or electronic evidence to a judge and jurors. A digital imaging expert witness could provide expertise in intellectual property matters, such as a patent litigation case, a trade secret dispute, or a proceeding in the International Trade Commission (ITC). An expert in digital imaging technology might also provide testimony in a torts matter like a product liability, or a medical malpractice case. A forensic expert can reverse engineer components and digital evidence to prove (or disprove) intellectual property infringement, theft, or cyber crime.

Expert witness services by a digital imaging expert witness could include an imaging study, forensic analysis, expert opinion, expert report, and courtroom testimony. In a high-profile case, or litigation involving a significant financial stake, a law firm may request a digital imaging professional with prior expert witness testimony experience. In addition, clients may seek a digital imaging industry expert for pre-litigation consulting work.
