What is an environmental engineering expert witness?
Environmental engineering expert witness candidates are typically professional engineers with degrees in environmental engineering, metallurgy, geotechnical engineering, mechanical engineering, hydrogeology, structural engineering, and/or civil engineering. Environmental engineering, a subdiscipline of civil engineering and chemical engineering, is focused on protecting the health of living beings, as well as improving environment quality. Environmental engineering experts have a combination of advanced degree (PE, PhD) and specialty experience in one or more subdisciplines.
What types of cases require an environmental engineering expert witness?
Environmental engineering covers multiple disciplines including chemistry, biology, geology, hydraulics, and hydrology. Cases that require an expert in environmental engineering can include regulatory compliance, remediation of harmful substances, or personal injury.
