Expert Witness as Consulting Arborist
Tree
Health Management, Inc. has an arboricultural consultant on staff
who is atrained expert witness. We wear the expert witness hat
only when asked to assist in a legal issue or litigation concerning
plants. Individually, Peter has been asked to provide
assistance to homeowners, lawyers, insurance companies, landscapers,
municipalities and corporations. As an expert witness we provide unbiased opinions
based upon facts which are usually gleaned from site inspections.
At a site inspection an expert witnesses best friends are observation,
fieldwork, scientific facts, lab analysis, photography, forensic
factors and assistance from other experts. As in all the biological
sciences experts rely on what the 'probability', some form of reasonable
art must be used to come to an opinion which is based on facts,
art and being reasonable.
