Expert witnesses are specialists in their respective fields
that provide advice and assistance to attorneys.
Consulting with an expert witness is something best left to your attorney. There are many aspects of trial that only a qualified attorney should deal with and the selection of an appropriate expert for your case is one of them.
An expert witness generally has extensive experience in a particular subject, may be published in technical or professional journals, may have certain degrees, memberships or other qualifications. An expert witness is not an advocate for one side or another, they are independent of the attorney. Unlike any other witnesses, experts can present their opinions to the court.

An accident reconstructionist is someone qualified to analyze the many different aspects of n accident and render an opinion on how and why the accident happened. The reconstructionist may also offer an opinion on how the accident may have been avoided. A reconstructionist will not, generally, determine a level of fault or guilt to one party over another.
Every accident results from the interplay of a wide variety of factors. For example, in a traffic accident, a reconstructionist may have to assess the role of vehicle speed, time, distance, ambient lighting, seat belt use, air bags, component failure, brakes, human factors, alcohol as a factor, collision avoidance, crashworthiness and tire failures just to name a few possible factors.
It is advisable to consult with an attorney if you have been involved in an accident that resulted in injuries.
