Legal challenges in the transportation and warehousing industries aren’t just common—they’re often complicated. When a delivery goes wrong, a fleet vehicle crashes, or a warehouse accident results in injury, the consequences can be far-reaching. At Discovery Experts, we understand the pressure attorneys and claims professionals face in these high-stakes cases. That’s why our litigation support team is built around real-world industry experience and technical credibility. Whether you’re dealing with a freight loss, a contract dispute, or a forklift accident, we provide the insight and expert testimony needed to support your legal strategy and win your case.
Let’s be honest: not all expert witnesses are created equal. In transportation and warehousing litigation, you need more than just credentials on paper—you need someone who’s lived the operations. Someone who understands the ins and outs of DOT regulations, forklift safety standards, cargo handling procedures, and what really happens during a 3 a.m. cross-dock transfer. That’s where Discovery Experts steps in.
Legal disputes in these sectors often hinge on highly technical issues. Was the vehicle maintained correctly? Were dispatch protocols followed? Did a storage facility fail to meet OSHA standards? Our experts help connect the dots with clarity and authority, breaking down complex concepts for judges, juries, and legal teams.
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all expertise. Our litigation support is grounded in specialization—because every warehouse and fleet operation has its own risks, equipment, and protocols.

Regulations aren’t just guidelines—they’re often at the core of legal claims. Violations of OSHA, DOT, or FMCSA standards can make or break a case. But proving compliance—or non-compliance—isn’t always straightforward.
That’s why our team digs deep. We review training logs, inspection records, maintenance schedules, safety policies, and even employee interviews. Did the warehouse manager ignore a known hazard? Were truck drivers operating beyond legal hours? Was a critical inspection skipped? These are the types of questions we answer with confidence.
In one recent case, our expert found that a warehouse’s racking system failed to meet OSHA anchoring requirements, directly contributing to a serious injury. That discovery shifted the liability and helped resolve the case swiftly.
So why do law firms across the country choose Discovery Experts? Because our people aren’t just consultants—they’re seasoned professionals who’ve worked in the field. Our experts include former logistics managers, warehouse supervisors, fleet mechanics, and engineers. They’ve made the tough calls in real-world scenarios, and now they bring that experience to the courtroom.
We don’t speak in generalities. When we testify, we reference actual industry practices, up-to-date safety standards, and firsthand knowledge of equipment and workflows. We’ve supported clients in litigation involving everything from liftgate design flaws to fuel tracking disputes—and we’ve testified in state courts, federal courts, and arbitration hearings.
One client once told us, “You explained a dispatch error better than my own operations manager.” That’s what we aim for—expertise that speaks the language of logistics and law.
We understand that litigation moves quickly—and unpredictably. That’s why we’ve developed a process that balances speed with rigor, clarity with thoroughness.
Our process ensures nothing gets missed. Every document, regulation, and detail is part of the story we help tell.
The logistics world is changing fast—and litigation trends are evolving to match. As supply chains become more interconnected, liability becomes harder to isolate.

Absolutely. From refrigeration failure to loading protocol violations, we’ve supported multiple cases involving temperature-sensitive goods.

Yes. In fact, it’s one of our core services. We help establish whether a facility followed OSHA protocols and how violations contributed to injury or risk. See our full OSHA & Compliance Support services.
