Why Expert Witnesses Are Important

Expert witnesses are important for several reasons. They make it possible for juries to pass judgment accurately on complex issues; this is especially true in injury cases where experts help juries understand the scope of damage so they can make appropriate verdicts. Expert witnesses offer an objective understanding of the facts, which lends legitimacy and credibility to a jury’s decision. Furthermore, the use of an expert uncovers facts that a jury may not have even considered before.
