Lidar Expert Witnesses
LiDAR, short for light detection and ranging, is a means of measuring distances with laser light, and is used for high-resolution maps, surveying, seismology, autonomous vehicles, laser guidance, and mobile applications, among many others. A LiDAR expert witness typically has a background in electrical engineering or physics, and is an active member of a technical industry organization such as the IEEE.
Often, matters requiring LiDAR device expert witness work involve patent infringement or trade secret litigation. Working with the plaintiff or defendant, expert witness services by a LiDAR expert witness could include an expert report, expert opinion, and/or testimony in trial court. In a high-profile case, or litigation involving a significant financial stake, an attorney may require a subject matter expert with prior expert witness testimony experience. In addition, clients may seek a subject matter expert for pre-litigation consulting work.
While many experts have LiDAR expertise, a testifying expert carries the additional responsibility of providing expert testimony before the court in a manner whereby a judge and jury can understand the technology and evidence.
Whether the case involves LiDAR, a radar unit or radar device, radar speed measuring device, autonomous vehicle, or a laser gun, Cahn Litigation Services has the experience required to turn an expert witness search around quickly and provide the right balance of expertise and testimony to support each unique project and its nuances.
