Transportation Expert Witness
Find an ExpertAccording to the National Safety Council, nearly 45,000 people die every year from car crashes — and that number continues to rise. That doesn’t account for the tens of thousands more who are injured or otherwise affected by transportation-related accidents.
Though the United States has more drivers than most of the rest of the world, understanding the transportation system and the full scope of road safety is a challenge. That is why many people hire an expert witness through Intellex to help solidify their legal case.

What Is a Transportation Expert Witness?
A transportation expert witness is a professional in their field with a deep understanding of transportation issues. Like other legal witnesses, they lend their experience to litigation cases that require explanations and evaluations of:
- Vehicle safety: Cars, buses, trains, trucks, planes and ships — with any vehicle that takes things from point A to B, you’ll find expert witnesses who know precisely how they work. They can inform juries of safety regulations, recalls and other pertinent information related to the transportation vessel(s) in question.
- Road and traffic safety: Every driver agrees to the rules of the road when they get their license, and violations of them can lead to devastating consequences. Your transportation expert witness should know these guidelines by heart so they can determine whether an infraction was caused by a failure to adhere to road and traffic safety.
- Accident investigation: Accident reconstruction is one of the most common reasons people hire transportation legal witnesses. These professionals can help juries determine how an accident happened based on evidence like vehicle damage and road characteristics.
- Engineering and infrastructure: Sometimes, the roads, highways and bridges themselves can be part of the issue. When that is the case, your transportation expert should be able to provide evidence and explain how the transportation route played a part in the scenario.
- Workplace safety: For construction workers, traffic guards, haulers and professional drivers, the open road is also their office. A transportation expert witness can provide insight into road-related OSHA violations, hazardous material transportation, injuries and more.
