At Horizon, we have a clear understanding and appreciation, that, an expert witness opinion is an integral part, as well as, a key role in the litigation process. We also recognize that it is unlikely to decrease in importance, especially, given today’s current litigious plaintiff environment and our society searching to better understand who is to be held accountable in this frightening pandemic new world, with all the resulting tragic deaths and outcomes.

Stephen Goudge, who wrote, from the court of Appeal in 2014

“ Our world is becoming increasingly complex. As a result, courts are likely to place greater weight on expert opinion if the central issue involves highly technical or scientific subject matter, he suggests. “ this message even holds more true today!

At Horizon, we pride ourselves in having an acute awareness of this fact, as well as, a complete understanding, that, the expert’s first duty is to the court, to provide objective and “non-partisan” evidence.

As such, it becomes of utmost importance to us, in acting in this very important role as an expert witness, that, at all times, due care, due diligence, and complete objectivity is being exercised in forming our opinions. Especially, with our awareness, that, a biased expert evidence can lead to miscarriages of justice.

To this end, our, expert witness consultants, utilize, acquire, research, together, with the help of assistance, to be able to obtain the support in their evidence based and well documented opinions. This aids in the their communication to clearly present and simplify the comprehension of the complex issues being addressed to the court.

At Horizon, we also exercise the same due care and professionalism in our selection of the right health care consultant with the necessary required skill sets, experience and knowledge relevant to the specific case.
