Helmet Expert Witnesses
Helmet expert witness candidates typically have backgrounds and expertise in mechanical engineering, human factors, or biomechanics. A technical expert witness needs to also possess the ability to provide expert testimony in such a manner that a judge and jury can understand the technology and evidence.
Helmet laws vary from state to state, though data shows the significant value of helmets in preventing brain injury and saving lives. According to the CDC, motorcycle helmets reduce the risk of death by over 37%, and reduce the risk of head injury by almost 70%.
A helmet expert witness could provide expertise in intellectual property matters, such as a patent litigation or a trade secret dispute. A helmet expert could also be called in for a motorcycle accident reconstruction exercise, a failure analysis investigation, personal injury case, or wrongful death suit. A helmet expert witness may also collaborate on a project with a medical expert. Litigation support by a helmet expert witness could include an expert report, forensic engineering, expert opinion, and expert testimony in trial court. In a high-profile case, or litigation involving a significant financial stake, an attorney may request a helmet expert with prior expert testimony experience.
