- Cynthia O’Shea, Attorney, Capital Mitigation Consultants, Cape Coral, FL
Course Description: In defense litigation, expert witness testimony is a
necessary and critical part of the litigation strategy. Expert witnesses can
offer testimony to address important questions or facts that are crucial to
liability issues. They are also commonly used when it comes to calculating
damages. Because expert witness testimony can be such an important factor,
there can be much at stake for litigators in the process of finding and selecting
an expert. Clients have also recognized the importance of choosing the expert
witness best suited for the case, and the selection process has increasingly
become a joint endeavor between outside litigators and their in-house
counterparts.
Therefore, the defense team should be informed about how to
best prepare to find and select expert witnesses. The importance experts can
play in litigation, and some of the important issues the defense team should
consider when searching for the most effective expert, a decision that ultimately
can have a significant impact on settlement negotiations and trial results.
