Expert Witness and Testimony
At Varius, we know that the public's confidence in professional engineering services is one of our profession’s most important assets. As a result, we believe it is important to take an active role in making sure that our clients and our colleagues have access to some of the most experienced and insightful engineering assistance during potential and active claims and lawsuits.
An effective claim or trial expert is not simply someone with a lot of experience, although experience plays an important role. A claim expert must have an unimpeachable reputation, be honest and fair, be able to communicate effectively with laypeople, and be a compelling speaker. Varius has a long and varied resume of assisting claimants and defendants alike and making sure that the technical and professional needs of the engineering profession are represented with honesty and integrity.
Field changes can introduce delay claims and cause cost increases... it's important to get the design right the first time.
Field revisions often break the chain of responsibility and limit the designer's responsibility.
Our extensive background in facility and equipment design, project management, and technical innovation - and our attention to detail - make us some of the most sought-after experts in the Northwest. Whether you need assistance uncovering the hidden errors in a design, unpacking a complicated construction schedule, tracking field production and the tangential impacts, breaking down bid quantities, deciphering pricing strategies, or tracking who is taking project risks, Varius can uniquely and effectively support your legal team with expert witness and expert testimony assistance.
