Automotive Expert Witness Services

Independent technical expertise can help legal teams understand complex automotive evidence. RQA’s consultants are specialists in vehicle and component engineering, product integrity, safety investigations and recall management.

The expert appointed is matched to the issues in the matter and can explain technical findings clearly, including the limits of the available evidence.

Technical issues we can address

    • Alleged component defects, failure mechanisms and root causes.
    • Design, development, manufacturing and quality records.
    • Product safety investigations and recall decisions versus best practice.
    • Vehicle fire and crash matters.
    • Expert reports and testimony within the appointed expert’s scope.

Experience matched to the case

Our consultant network includes experience with internal combustion, electric, connected and autonomous vehicle technologies, as well as senior product integrity and recall roles. We define the technical questions, identify the appropriate specialist and agree the assignment scope before work begins.

The work is grounded in the evidence available. Findings distinguish conclusions that the evidence supports from issues that require further information or remain uncertain.
