Forensic Meteorology
No matter who you are or where you are, weather impacts your life. While some weather events leave a lasting impression, others may be quickly forgotten. Regardless of a past weather event’s significance, we specialize in expertly reconstructing it and bringing the data to life in a detailed written report coupled with a comprehensive client consultation. Think of it as CSI weather. This includes:
- Hail
- Wind
- Excessive rainfall
- Slip and fall accidents
- Lightning strikes
- Motor vehicle accidents
- Injuries from falling trees/branches
- Severe storms
- Heatwaves
- Extreme cold
- Snow, icing, and freezing rain
- Flooding
- Drought
- Wildfires
Expert Witness Testimony
It’s one thing to recreate a weather event but another to explain its nuances to someone without a meteorological background. We help clients become fluent in understanding the weather, which is particularly important in jury trials. In TV news, reporters and anchors are taught to communicate to a fourth-grade level. In essence, television meteorologists are educators explaining complex weather topics in an accessible way. We apply that same approach to expert witness testimony for clarity on all levels.
Jacqueline did an excellent job explaining complex data and images in words that any juror could easily understand. Jacqueline’s passion for meteorology is palpable...and I do not use that description as mere hyperbole. Her knowledge, enthusiasm, and engaging personality make her a great expert witness.
