​The Importance Of An Experienced Concrete Expert Witness

Now we understand the importance of utilizing the talents of an experienced Concrete Expert Witness during the course of a construction defect litigation or concrete defect litigation case whether or not the Concrete Expert Witness is called upon to testify in trial or arbitration. So lets discus  the benefits of retaining a Concrete Expert Witness prior to any litigation.

Early this morning I was talking with the Executive Vice President of Building Forensics International, William Cuccia about the importance of using an experienced Concrete Expert Witness like Geoffrey Hichborn Sr. P.E. even prior to litigation.

 

When many people  hear the term Concrete Expert Witness, they automatically revert to a thought of someone who is called upon to testify in court as an expert witness in concrete, cement or related construction materials. Testifying in court is only one aspect of the Concrete Expert Witness, and since the majority of all cases in construction defect litigation including those involving concrete defect litigation will settle prior to trial or arbitration, the bulk of the work and duties of the Concrete Expert Witness is performed outside of the courts.

While this is common knowledge to attorneys who specialize in construction defect litigation law and to the expert witness who provide the service as a Concrete Expert Witness, by the majority of people outside of the legal and Concrete Expert Witness field.

Although it is crucial to retain a qualified and competent construction defect or concrete defect attorneys when their services are required, resolving conflict before it escalates into litigation can save enormous amounts of money and headaches. This  is where retaining an experienced Concrete Expert Witness like Geoffrey Hichborn Sr. P.E. can help prevent unnecessary expenses and the loss of valued business relationships. Geoffrey Hichborn Sr. PE has over 30 years of experience aiding his clients through conflict resolution as a Concrete Expert Witness both prior to and during construction defect litigation and concrete defect litigation.
