Court Witness:A Users Understanding
The term “expert” is crucial when locating an expert court witness. Find a court witness with a impeachable background in the areas needed for the case, and they will bring concise and clear information to your argument. Check the witness’ credentials as an expert to be sure he is qualified in the field required. This will help you discover his or her strong points, and will help avoid any major surprises at the last minute. For example, both sides may have contacted the same court witness. Or, the expert may have already taken a view in a previous or similar case, which may be unhelpful in your client’s case. Also, ask to be sure the witness will accept instructions from both claimants and defendants. Many courts do not favor one-sided experts, and will choose one with a reputation of being even-handed.
