Transportation experts handle motor vehicle accidents, trucking litigation, maritime claims, and emerging autonomous vehicle cases. Accident reconstruction specialists are the backbone of many personal injury cases.
Fee ranges in the transportation category span from $300 – $550/hr at the hourly level. The wide range reflects significant variation by subspecialty, credential level, geographic market, and the nature of the engagement. Deposition and trial rates are typically 10–30% higher than standard case review rates.
When budgeting for a transportation expert witness, plan for: (1) the initial retainer, typically equal to 20–40 hours of anticipated work; (2) ongoing hourly charges as the case develops; (3) separate deposition and trial rates; and (4) travel expenses at cost. Complex cases with voluminous records will require substantially more hours than straightforward matters.
