Why Accurate Weather Expertise is Important for Your New York Cases

Weather is more than just a backdrop; it’s often a pivotal, contributing, or primary factor in various legal disputes. Establishing a factual, evidence-based record of past weather conditions can:

  • Strengthen Causation Arguments: Directly link weather events (e.g., ice, snow, heavy rain, high winds, poor visibility) to the incident.
  • Validate or Refute Claims: Objectively assess the weather conditions alleged by either party.
  • Determine Foreseeability: Evaluate whether certain weather-related hazards could have been reasonably anticipated and mitigated.
  • Support Standard of Care Discussions: Provide context for whether property owners or drivers acted reasonably given the prevailing weather.

Our deep understanding of meteorological data sources, advanced analysis techniques, and the legal standards for expert testimony (including Daubert Standard considerations) ensures that our contributions are robust and defensible.
