An injury trial is something that can really be stressful and confusing. While no one wants to see someone get hurt, the reality is that accidents happen. People get hurt. And there are always questions of liability. if your company is in the middle of one of these lawsuits, then you need to make sure that you get a good expert witness on your side.
If it's an accident related to an elevator in your building, then you need to make sure that you get an elevator expert witness on your side. They are truly invaluable at trial because they can explain the ins and outs of the elevator system as well as look for points of failure. If you know that the liability doesn’t rest in anything that your company failed to do, this is something the witness will point out at trial. It can definitely have a strong bearing on how much your insurance policy will have to pay out, if there's anything that even needs to be paid out at all.
Protecting your company from runaway lawsuits is just another part of doing business. Your attorney will most likely recommend pulling in as many expert witnesses as you can, but make sure that you don't forget the elevator expert witness!
