Soil Chemistry Experts and Litigation

soil chemistry expert post by Sam C.

We may not think it, but if we really want to make the most of our gardens we need to have some understanding of the chemistry that occurs within the soil. If we know this, we will be able to keep our crops growing well. Because this is relatively complex, we will often refer to an expert to help. So what if the expert gets it wrong, and we spend a fortune following their advice?

Clearly, we will want to gain compensation for this. To make sure you are successful, you really have to take advantage of the services of a soil chemistry expert to help during particular litigious circumstances.

So what sort of things should you look out for when you are deciding which soil chemistry expert witness to choose? The first thing you want to look for is the experience of the expert. Many expert witnesses have practiced in the field for many years, and they will naturally be a far better consultant than a chemist who has only had a few years on the job. They will have years of being a certified chemist and many qualifications from which they can draw information that will help your claim. If they have worked as an expert witness for a long time, it is even possible that they will have provided litigation support for people in a very similar, if not identical case to you. By drawing analogies with these cases, they will be able to give you a relatively accurate idea of whether you will be successful in your claim.

You should also make sure that your expert witness is an excellent public speaker. Not only do you want your expert witness to consult with you and your lawyer and provide advice, you also want them to stand up in court and testify on your behalf. Because of this, they will have to know how to effectively convey their evidence to the court in a manner that is very easy to understand; the court is unlikely to have any specialist knowledge of chemical processes and will therefore need everything explaining in layman’s terms. By choosing a soil chemistry expert witness who has a history of speaking in public, you will ensure that they know how to speak in court.

You shouldn’t leave anything to chance when you are looking to file a claim. If you really want to give yourself the best chance of success, make sure you choose the right expert witness. By doing this, you will make it far more likely that you will win, because the expert will be able to provide you with the vital pieces of evidence you need to convince the court of the validity of your claim….especially with relation to soil chemistry.
