When something goes wrong in the transportation or warehousing world—whether it’s a failed delivery, an equipment malfunction, or a serious accident—the consequences aren’t just costly. They can also be legally complex. That’s where Discovery Experts comes in. We provide expert witness services and litigation support tailored specifically to the intricate, highly regulated environment of transportation logistics and warehouse operations. With decades of experience across sectors like fleet management, cold storage, freight handling, and warehouse safety, our team helps clients uncover the facts, clarify responsibilities, and build a compelling case.
Think about a case where a refrigerated truck delivered spoiled food due to poor temperature control—or an employee injury at a fulfillment center where a liftgate failed during unloading. Who’s liable? Was it human error, mechanical failure, or a lapse in regulatory compliance?
That’s the kind of question Discovery Experts helps answer. We bring deep, specialized knowledge to legal teams, insurance providers, and corporations facing disputes related to transportation or warehousing. Whether it’s analyzing a broken conveyor belt or unpacking the chain of decisions behind a delayed shipment, our role is to provide clarity where the facts are buried in technical detail.
Every logistics operation is a moving puzzle—both literally and figuratively. When something breaks down, it’s rarely one simple cause. That’s why our services span several focus areas, allowing us to pinpoint the real source of issues.
If you’re building a case involving transportation or warehousing, having a qualified expert on your team isn’t optional—it’s essential. Judges and juries rely on this insight to navigate the complexity of technical facts.
Our team is made up of seasoned professionals—engineers, fleet managers, warehouse safety consultants—who’ve spent their careers in the environments they now evaluate. They know what should happen on the ground, what often goes wrong, and how to explain it to a court.
From evaluating Peterbilt and Mack vehicles to assessing lift equipment in distribution centers, we understand how equipment, people, and systems interact. We’ve even worked cases involving intermodal railyards and refrigerated supply chains, where every detail from fuel tracking to thermal insulation can influence case outcomes.

Every case is unique, but our approach is consistent, thorough, and designed to help you win.
Cases involving liftgate malfunctions, cross-dock scheduling errors, or fleet maintenance gaps benefit from this level of targeted analysis.
The logistics landscape is shifting fast. Warehouses are growing smarter and denser, while fleets are becoming more specialized. These changes are increasing the legal stakes—and the margin for error.
In one case, a cross-dock operation involving dropdeck trailers ran into trouble when dispatch records revealed systemic delays. Our expert discovered mismatched load schedules and ineffective oversight, which contributed to the loss. Our report helped the client reach a favorable out-of-court settlement.
