Should you hire a full-time swimming pool expert witness or someone who is still active in the business who is a part-time expert witness?
Out of Touch
That's a rather straight forward question with an obvious answer. A "professional" expert witness has retired from the business. They spend all of their time examining projects, writing reports and providing testimony.
So how do they stay up to date with the current trends in the industry?
How do they learn about the innovations in construction techniques?
Where do they get exposed to the new products that make past technologies obsolete?
When did they last actually build something utilizing state of the art methods?
What was the last project that they actually designed or engineered?
How do they stay up to date on the newest codes, industry standards and acceptable trade practices?
The longer they have been a full-time expert witness, the longer they have been out of touch with the industry. Though they may be able to stay up to date on the broad scope of changes, the nuances of change pass them by.
In-Touch
Those that are part-time expert witnesses, usually have full-time jobs actually designing, consulting, managing or constructing swimming pools.
Because they are active in the industry, they are current on all of the standards, codes and acceptable trade practices. Because they are on the leading edge of design innovation, they are up to date with the technological changes and techniques required to execute these new designs.
The expert witness you need to hire, is one who is still practicing in the industry. Someone who is out in the trenches, resolving design issues and building projects on a daily basis.
