I recently talked with a friend about my premises liability case, who said I will need an expert witness. Do I really need an expert witness to prove my case?

There are certain situations in which an expert witness can be a strong advantage in a premises liability case, particularly if it goes before a jury. Medical experts, contractors, economists, and others may have special knowledge that a jury needs to understand in order to assign damages properly. An experienced premises liability attorney will be familiar with the types of cases that require an expert witness, and he or she should know the appropriate experts to consult for your specific situation.
