Our experts provide testimony in a variety of cases. Here are some examples:

Laboratory Accidents: Cases involving injuries from chemical spills, explosions, or improper handling of hazardous materials in school labs.

Equipment Malfunctions: Incidents where students or staff are injured due to faulty or improperly maintained lab equipment, such as Bunsen burners, centrifuges, or electrical devices.

Field Trip Incidents: Accidents occurring during science-related field trips, such as injuries from wildlife, plant exposure, or geological hazards.

Robotics and Engineering Projects: Injuries resulting from the use of tools, machinery, or robots in STEM programs, including cuts, burns, or mechanical failures.

Safety Protocol Violations: Cases where schools fail to follow proper safety protocols, leading to accidents and injuries. This could include inadequate supervision, lack of safety training, or insufficient safety equipment.

Exposure to Toxic Substances: Situations where students or staff are exposed to toxic chemicals or materials, leading to health issues.

Electrical Hazards: Accidents involving electrical experiments or projects that result in shocks, burns, or fires. Biological Hazards: Incidents involving exposure to biological agents, such as bacteria or viruses, during experiments or dissections.

In these cases, our expert witnesses can help clarify the technical aspects, establish standards of care, and determine whether proper safety measures were followed.  We can review evidence documentation, images, communications and make a report outlining the legal safety standards and accepted better professional safety practices that were not followed leading up to the accident or injury.  We can also help make determinations including negligence or recklessness based on the evidence provided.
