Paint Expert Witnesses

What is a paint expert witness?

Paint expert witness candidates typically have extensive experience and expertise in materials science, polymer science, metallurgy, chemical engineering, and/or organic chemistry. Cahn Litigation Services has been approached by numerous attorney clients to locate expert witnesses, on behalf of either the plaintiff or defendant, that can support paint technology matters. The selected expert may be a member of an industry organization such as the American Coatings Association, the World Paint & Coatings Industry Association, and/or the World Coatings Council.

What types of cases require a paint expert witness?

A paint expert witness often provides expertise in intellectual property matters, such as a patent infringement litigation or a trade secret dispute. A paint or coatings expert could also be called in on a product liability case, personal injury incident, or an accident investigation.

What litigation support work might a paint expert witness be expected to perform?

Litigation support by a paint expert witness could include accident reconstruction, forensic engineering, research and authoring expert reports, failure analyses, deposition testimony, providing expert opinions, and courtroom testimony. In addition, clients may seek a paint expert for pre-litigation consulting services. In a high-profile case, or litigation involving a significant financial stake, a law firm may request a subject matter expert with prior expert witness testimony experience.

A paint expert witness must have a deep understanding not only of the target technology, but also of the market and competitive landscape. It is also essential that an expert witness possess the ability to provide expert testimony in such a manner that a jury and judge can understand the forensic evidence. Whether the case involves lead exposure, hazardous materials, premature paint failure, corrosion, protective coatings technology, surface pretreatment, resins formulation, toxicology, or industrial hygiene,

Cahn Litigation Services has the experience required to turn a search for a paint expert witness around quickly, providing the right balance of expertise and testimony experience.
