home > expert witness

Fisher Maritime has over twenty-five years experience in providing attorneys, consultants, ship owners and shipyards with technical analyses, expert testimony, and support for marine, offshore and shipyard mediation, arbitration, and litigation.

In addition to our consulting work, we provide expert witness services in the following areas:

damaged ship
  • Shipyard Project Disputes
    We support our clients involved with construction and repair disputes in courts or arbitration, as well as preparation for mediation. Our early intervention often helps clients avoid litigation - please see our litigation support services.

  • Boating Casualties
    We have analyzed a number of recreational boating incidents including collisions, fires, falls, and injuries. We have also analyzed casualties involving larger vessels - see more.

  • Personal Injury
    When maritime related personal injury occurs, we can provide you the benefit of our experience in defending or asserting claims resulting from improper design, construction, operation, or training - see more.

  • Product Liability
    Fisher Maritime has extensive experience in analyzing and preventing maritime-related product liability. Our work has involved both plaintiffs and defendants, small and large vessels, and has included the organization of seminars and the development of a book on the topic - see more.

  • Asbestos Cases
    We routinely deal with questions of the potential of exposure of shipboard and shipyard employees to asbestos - see more.

  • Environmental Issues
    We have prepared several analyses pertaining to the presence of PCBs, lead, and heavy metals at shipyard and ship-scrapping sites in order to address industrial hygiene issues. These analyses can be used as a basis for assigning or recovering clean-up costs - see more.
