Expert Witnesses Must Come Across as Human

10:32 pm Legal

When dealing with auto accidents and injuries, jurors expect professionalism and humanity in an accident reconstruction expert witness. One factor that seems to get lost during the phases of a jury trial, is the human factor of the experts on the stand. Jurors want a doctor or dentist to sound and act like the professionals that they are but a plumber or an animal behavior expert should not sound like they are addressing the annual convention members. The expert must show the jurors that they are human with feeling and are able to tell a story about the evidence. The information will be based on facts, studies, and scientific testing, but they still need to appear friendly to the jury members.
