How important is it for my attorney to retain highly qualified experts in construction cases?
It is almost always necessary for a plaintiff’s attorney to retain construction practice experts and safety experts. There will be many insurance coverage issues, contract issues, and issues of relative liability between the various trades which require the retention of a sophisticated expert to be able to explain to a jury the relative responsibilities of the parties. Further, a construction safety expert will be able to point to the negligent way in which the construction project was conceived and monitored.
