Why Expert Security Testimony Matters
Here’s the deal: security-related cases are rarely simple. They often involve technical procedures, industry regulations, and human judgment calls that the average juror — and sometimes even the attorneys — don’t fully understand.
An expert security witness plays a crucial role by:
- Explaining industry standards and protocols in plain language.
- Demonstrating how incidents should have been prevented or managed.
- Providing credible, evidence-based opinions that can withstand cross-examination.
Search intent insight: People searching for terms like expert security witness, security negligence witness, or use of force witness are often attorneys, corporate risk managers, or insurers seeking a professional to support their case.
