Expert Witness

Structural Engineering Expert Witness Services

When a construction dispute, insurance claim, or personal injury case turns on a structural engineering question, the outcome often depends on which side has the more credible, better-documented expert opinion. Frontier Structural Engineering provides expert witness services to attorneys, insurance carriers, and property owners who need a licensed structural engineer with real-world design and investigation experience.

We are not professional experts who move from case to case without building anything. We are practicing engineers who bring current, hands-on knowledge of how buildings are designed, how they are built, and how they fail.

What We Do

Frontier’s expert witness services include:

• Site inspection and field documentation of the structure or condition at issue
• Review of design documents, specifications, geotechnical reports, and construction records
• Engineering analysis to evaluate the adequacy of the original design and the quality of construction
• Written expert reports that present findings clearly and withstand cross-examination
• Deposition preparation and deposition testimony
• Trial testimony as a testifying expert, with exhibits and demonstratives prepared for a lay audience

Construction Defect Cases

Construction defect litigation often involves disputes over whether a structural condition resulted from design error, construction error, material defect, inadequate maintenance, or normal aging. Frontier investigates the physical evidence, reviews the project record, and provides an opinion grounded in engineering analysis rather than advocacy.

Insurance Claim Support

When a structural claim involves a disputed cause of loss, Frontier evaluates whether the damage is consistent with the claimed event, whether pre-existing conditions contributed to the loss, and what repairs are structurally necessary versus cosmetically desirable. Our reports are organized to support the claims adjustment process.

Standard of Care Analysis

In professional liability cases, the central question is often whether a design professional’s work met the standard of care applicable at the time of the project. Frontier evaluates the original engineering against the codes, standards, and professional practice in effect at the time of design, and provides a defensible opinion on conformance.
