Types of Expert Witnesses in a Personal Injury Case: Manufacturing Experts

Each year, thousands of unsuspecting consumers suffer severe injuries and loss of life caused by defective products. Consumer products such as children’s toys, automobile parts and household appliances, which were thought by consumers to be safe, can contain dangerous manufacturing defects.

Proving fault and manufacturing errors in product liability lawsuits can be extremely complicated. A successful product liability claim typically requires various types of evidence to demonstrate that the product in question was, in fact, defective. To help the jury determine that the product was faulty because of a manufacturing defect, manufacturing experts may be employed to testify about industry standards, how the manufacturing process formed the defective product and how the manufacturing defect caused the plaintiff’s injury. For example, a manufacturing expert may testify as to how the manufacturing of a motorcycle tire led to a tire blowout and caused a crash. A manufacturing expert witness could be vital in proving that a defective tire caused the accident that resulted in severe injuries. Often, having a competent manufacturing expert witness can make or break a product liability claim.

How a Manufacturing Expert Witness can Help Effectively Prove Your Product Liability Claim

Product liability lawsuits are extremely technical and often demand extensive investigation and analysis to prove. To prevail in a product liability lawsuit involving a manufacturing defect, it is often necessary to enlist the help of a manufacturing expert. When a manufacturing expert is retained early in a case, he or she can provide your attorney with vast amounts of highly technical data and manufacturing specifications.

Manufacturing experts can add value to your product liability claim by:

1. Conducting product testing;
2. Identifying and explaining safety standards and analyzing how exactly the product violated those standards;
3. Directing investigations;
4. Uncovering similar claims that were previously filed;
5. Evaluating the manufacturer’s response to any known defects or safety concerns;
6. Assisting your attorney in formulating and establishing proper theories of the manufacturer’s liability; and
7. Demonstrating key elements to prove your case.
