A Maritime Investigator Expert Witness is a specialist with deep knowledge and experience in maritime operations, safety regulations, vessel engineering, and accident reconstruction. These professionals are often called upon in legal cases involving boating accidents, ship collisions, fires at sea, cargo damage, personal injuries aboard commercial or recreational vessels, and violations of maritime laws. Their expertise helps courts and attorneys understand the technical details surrounding maritime incidents, including navigation errors, equipment failures, or compliance breaches with standards such as the U.S. Coast Guard or international maritime codes.

In litigation, a maritime investigator expert witness may examine accident reports, inspect vessels, analyze black box or GPS data, and provide opinions on causation and liability. They are frequently involved in Jones Act cases, marine salvage disputes, diving incidents, and commercial fishing accidents. Their testimony can be instrumental in determining whether proper seamanship was observed, if safety protocols were followed, or if negligence or human error contributed to the event.
