WHAT IS THE GREATEST VALUE AN EXPERT CAN BRING TO YOUR CASE? James P. Waltz, PE, CEM, FAEE, DABFET, FCABE

“Without an expert there is no case…” This was a frank insight from counsel not long ago — and

happened to confirm my own conclusion about the greatest value I was bringing to counsel in more recent years. That value wasn’t just technical expertise as a forensic engineer in the world of construction or skill at articulating issues and findings — but rather in assisting counsel in the development of their approach to a case. Curiously, this applies whether counsel has a plaintiff or a defendant as their client.

• The engineer claimed that they had never been informed of the architectural change. Defense counsel researched the original permit application plans as well as subsequent permitting plan review revisions without finding said revision and focused instead on challenging the claimed cost damages. • Ultimately we re-directed counsel’s investigation of the various architectural plans prepared (but not issued) just

times, for a variety of reasons, is that counsel may overly narrow the scope of the experts engagement or otherwise overmanage the expert(s). This may be because counsel believes they know the case better, out of a desire to keep the cost of the expert at a minimum, or a myriad of other notions and intentions — which may also dictate the selection of an expert for a case. Real value may be being lost as a result. The mini case study vignettes below may best illustrate the ways in which an expert may strongly and positively impact the approach to a case. They are of course not counsel themselves, nor is it necessary for the expert to advocate for your client in their testimony.

Casino/Convention Center — “the smoking gun”. • In this defense case a consulting engineer was being held responsible by the architect for (apparently) missing a revision to the architectural plans that was made to the design development plans just prior to finalizing the construction plans for permit application. • This was asserted by plaintiff to have caused a significant delay in construction and extensive during-construction redesign and rework of mechanical and other systems that were affected by the design change — as well as premium time labor to fix the schedule for a planned (and already booked) opening of this major facility.

• Besides the plans themselves, it was discovered in the thencontemporaneous project communiques that the architect did not follow their previously established communication protocol (their own standard of care), thereby leaving the engineer in the dark as the project design was completed and submitted for permitting. • This revelation dramatically changed the entire approach to the defense and the outcome of the case.

County courthouse. Asbestos release in an occupied building. • This was a criminal prosecution case, along with follow-on civil suits brought by various plaintiffs. • A very large at-risk construction management concern undertook a seismic retrofit of the courthouse and based their guaranteed-maximum-cost contract on keeping the bulk of the building occupied during normal business hours — and asserting that their work plan would maintain safe conditions and avoid the cost of relocating court operations to another building during construction. • Unfortunately, the after-hours structural work of the project disturbed the fireproofing on the underside of the floor decking which then fell upon the suspended ceiling in the spaces being kept occupied. Once the large central air conditioning system was turned on following completion

• The testimony of one of the judges was quite irate upon learning that the film of dust found on their desktop in their chambers each morning was asbestos. • In prosecuting the case, the state deputy attorney general was at a loss to understand and present the motivation of the criminal activity of the construction manager at trial. • The key was to moving the prosecution forward was to explain to the DAG that the defendant’s motivation was financial. » The DAG was querulous about this explanation as the defendants’ actions “did not increase their revenue”. » We then pointed out that the construction management firm’s entire contract would have been cancelled in its entirety had the asbestos disturbance been discovered. And that this was why they defrauded their certified asbestos consultant by telling them they were taking a “baseline” indoor air quality measurement, and then falsely presenting those test results to the County as though it was a post-construction air quality test,

This constituted unethical advocacy (and potentially even perjury), especially as some of the early-on false assertions were shown to be willfully and knowingly false. • The key to settling this case was identifying and presenting clear evidence that multiple false assertions were being propagated by the opposing side.

following:

High Rise Condominium. Extensive multi-floor flooding during minor HVAC repair. • In this defense case the original construction mechanical contractor was accused of inadequate installation of a hydronic (circulating water) HVAC system. • Plaintiff’s experts got a leg up on the case and managed to create a line of thinking that really “poisoned the well” on the part of the referee managing the case. The experts perpetrated numerous falsehoods regarding the facts in the case that were almost unrecoverable at a certain point in the proceedings. These included: » Wrongly characterizing the role of the installing contractor (claiming design/build versus building to the plans-and-specifications prepared by developers agents)

1. Selecting an expert based on credentials that are more academic than they are from practical experience is a weak practice. 2. Relying on expert opinions that are not well supported or well-founded, no matter how well they appear to support your view of the case, may ultimately be detrimental to the case. 3. Letting your expert be the expert can bring great value to the case.
