Description
This book explores these and many other related subjects. This book will be of great value to expert witnesses in liability suits resulting
from flood, erosion, landslide, mudslide, or other types of natural hazard-related damage. It clearly explains the needs of an expert,
the relationship of the expert to the client and the attorney, the challenges to face, and the proper orientation as an expert. Through
a variety of case studies, the book illustrates investigative techniques, case and data presentation to prove "reasonableness" or "unreasonableness"
of conduct and "causation."
Audience:
Civil and environmental engineers, students, engineering geologists, and lawyers.
