Expert Witnesses & Forensic Consultants Directory
Maritime & Admiralty
Admiralty and maritime expert witnesses provide forensic investigations and reviews of marine accidents and injuries, and testify on standards for seafarers and their vessels, including international conventions and codes for maritime traffic and the carriage of goods. The marine experts profiled in this directory may assist in recreational boating claims, from slip and fall to product liability claims, as well as in matters involving commercial vessels and their crews. Whether the case involves personal watercraft (eg: jet skis) accidents or freighter damages (including hazardous cargo loss and cargo damage), the maritime professionals listed here may provide expert opinions to assist plaintiff or defendant, in civil or criminal matters. These experts may provide causation opinions through forensic inspection of vessels, docks and wharfs, as well as testifying on marine safety practices and standards. Maritime injury, accident and product liability investigations may include such issues as engine failures, loss of propulsion and maneuverability failures, steering gear failures and propeller loss. Maritime experts may provide forensic examinations for alleged defects, whether it be defective design of hulls or defective engine manufacture, or for issues of equipment maintenance. These admiralty experts may have expertise in all forms of floating vessels: ships, speed boats, sailboats, yachts, sport fishing boats and commercial fishing vessels, offshore rigs, derricks, service vessels, supertankers, tankers, or ferries.
