Human Factors Expert Witness 

Job Description: 
We are seeking an accomplished Human Factors Expert Witness to join our team of forensic professionals. The ideal candidate will have deep expertise in human performance, driver behavior, fatigue, distraction, visibility/conspicuity, perception-reaction time, and related factors that influence real-world incidents. This role is a strong fit for a human factors specialist who is passionate about applying scientific research to litigation and helping attorneys understand why people behave the way they do in complex environments. 

This is a unique opportunity for a highly credentialed expert to analyze human behavior, translate scientific findings into clear opinions, and provide compelling testimony that supports the legal process. 

Key Responsibilities: 

• Conduct forensic evaluations of human performance, including driver actions, distraction, fatigue/sleep deprivation, visibility, looming, expectation, and perception-reaction time. 
  

• Review case materials, scene evidence, vehicle data, and environmental factors to assess human behavior and decision-making in accident scenarios. 
  

• Prepare detailed written reports and expert opinions grounded in human factors principles, peer-reviewed research, and accepted scientific methodology. 
  

• Provide expert witness testimony in depositions, mediations, and trials — clearly explaining how behavioral, perceptual, and cognitive factors contributed to the incident. 
  

• Consult with legal teams to identify case strengths/weaknesses, isolate key human-factor issues, and assist in developing litigation strategy. 
  

• Conduct literature reviews, create timelines, analyze visibility conditions, and evaluate warnings, conspicuity, and user expectations. 
  

• Stay current on human factors research, transportation safety, driver behavior science, fatigue studies, and relevant industry standards.
