Does Daubert Equal Summary Judgment?
On February 28th, Maggie Tamburro posted on IMS-ExpertServices.com that “as the role of experts becomes all the more critical in the world of litigation, many legal commentators are now pondering if a Daubert challenge has become the new summary judgment. In cases requiring expert testimony, courts seem progressively willing to “connect the dots” between a Daubert challenge and summary judgment”.
Yarmus Engineering, P.C. specializes in providing Forensic Engineering services regarding Engineering, Construction, and Property Management related matters. We are keenly aware of such Daubert issues, and accordingly perform our work and issue our reports with an eye towards minimizing the likelihood of success of any such challenges. Please contact our office if we can be of assistance to you or your clients.
