Diving Expert Witness

Instruct the expert with the right qualifications, training, knowledge and experience to work on your case.

Dive Expert Witness

Starting as a sports diver in the 70’s before training as an offshore commercial diver in the 80’s, I have gone on to gather a wealth of knowledge and experience on some of the largest, high profile and technically complex projects in some of the nicest, and sorriest, locations across the globe in very senior roles in the Inshore, Onshore, and Offshore Oil & Gas industry.

I worked on my 1st expert witness case more than 18 years ago. It was a loss of earnings/potential earnings claim by a diver against a Health Trust. I was totally unprepared and, had no concept of what I was getting involved in. It was a real ‘baptism of fire’ and a lesson I have learned from to this day.

This is an under used process which can have great advantages at an early stage in appropriate cases. We find that the earlier we are engaged, the better our input and your outcome.

Carrying out an investigation is the first step in understanding what has gone wrong in a particular circumstance with the ultimate aim of recognising where the existing control measures have failed and to prevent the accident or incident ever happening again.

Expert Determination

Expert Determination is one of the many forms of dispute resolution and is ideally suited to cases where there are technical issues that need settled.

“We instructed Steve as the Pursuers’ expert in a recent diving fatality case. He displayed a very sound understanding of the relevant law teamed with a wealth of hands-on experience in the offshore industry. He was instrumental in the ultimate success of a complicated case.”

Lindsay DavidsonPartner – Lefevres Law

“Steve has been very helpful and responded professionally to all our requests for comment and response to the developments of the case. (especially since it was a somewhat unusual case from a legal prospective!) His expert knowledge of the diving industry, practicalities, technicalities and reality of diving operations would, in my opinion, be of great assistance to any case, be it pursuer or defender instructed.”
