What is an expert witness?
According to the Federal Rule of Evidence 702 an Expert Witness is a witness
who, due to their knowledge, skill, experience, training, or education, may give
testimony in the form of an opinion. The purpose of allowing expert testimony is
to assist the trier of fact to understand the evidence or to determine a fact in
issue.
Selection of an Expert:
It is best when looking for an Expert Witness to find someone who has had prior
experience in deposition testimony. Not every potential expert witness is
willing to submit to the rigors of giving a deposition. Nothing can quite
prepare you for an eight-hour deposition as an expert where the other side is
attempting to discredit your testimony. It is important to note, some Experts
provide services as “Consulting Experts” only and do not provide deposition
testimony.
Remember, an Expert can be an invaluable asset to you in preparing for and/or winning a case.
