NRC's widespread reputation within both the maritime legal profession and the courts as an organization providing highly credible expert testimony has been built on the preparation of factual and objective expert documents and testimony based on skilled analysis of the most relevant data. NRC's expert witness capabilities draw on an intimate understanding of and first-hand experience with fisheries and processing industries. Our expert witness research and testimony focuses on but is not limited to:
- Loss of fishing profits/resources;
- By vessels, plants, and products due to business interruption claims
- By personal injury or death instances
- Due to man-caused disasters or changes to the environment
- Insurance claim analysis;
- Claim review and evaluation
- Mediation
- Independent claim analysis and valuation
- Expert witness testimony
Steve Hughes is NRC's primary expert witness recognized widely in the commercial fishing industry, although each of NRC's principals have served in the capacity of expert witnesses in their fields of expertise.
