Asbestos Expert Witness

Expert witnesses are playing an increasingly important role in court cases, helping lawyers to investigate the facts and issues and to identify the strengths and weaknesses of cases, and preparing reports for court and giving oral evidence, regarding asbestos management.

Assistance from an expert witness may be needed at varying stages in the event of a dispute and for a variety of reasons. Such advice is often procured long before any decision is taken regarding potential litigation. Often the expert�s view can be a deciding factor in whether or not to proceed with a civil claim.

Tetra Consulting provides expert assistance to clients and their legal advisers, including contractors, consultants, developers, insurers, loss adjusters, public and private companies, central and local government and members of the public.

In cases of dispute we act on behalf of claimants and defendants and as Single Joint Experts. Many of our assignments involve a level of contamination of buildings and land, supported by our appointment of independent UKAS accredited testing facilities. Commissions are generally followed by design and implementation, or assessment of remedial works and definition of quantum.

When a dispute or the potential for one exists, the principal facet of the expert advice is its impartiality. Tetra Consulting places great store on the complete integrity of its professional staff and our independent advice.

Our considerable experience encompasses:

• Advising organisations on their duties under current and proposed asbestos legislation.
