Courts of law rely upon information
offered in evidence as the basis for
decisions rendered. Evidence comes in many forms, including photo-graphs,
recordings, devices, forensic evidence, documents, and individual testimony.
Oral testimony by expert witnesses
is, however, often the major source ofevidence at a trial.
Witnesses who testify are hired as
a paid expert play an important
role in interpreting data, explaining
complex material, and drawing knowledgeable inferences based upon
their extensive training and experience.
As a professional Marine Surveyor
I have been called to testify as
an expert witness on a variety of cases involving injuries and damages
to insured vessels representing either the owner or the insurance
provider.
In all cases, where I have been
retained as an expert witness, my testimony was a deciding factor
in awarding the claim for damages.
|
Since I represent the boat,
my findings are based on factual evidence obtained from my investigation
of the damages sustained to the vessel, utilizing
the expertise, training and tools
of my profession.
The surveyor services utilized by
the majority of insurance agents
in a claim for damages typically
represent the insurance company and have a minimum level of training
and expertise in vessel construction.
Unless you are confident your insurance
will unquestionably cover your claim, it would be prudent for you
to obtain the independent services of a Marine Professional Surveyor
to represent you and your vessel when major damages have been sustained.
