Anecdotal evidence can be useful. In addition to reported cases, attorneys and adjusters representing policyholders and insurance carriers have collectively retained expert witnesses in presenting or defending first-party insurance claims. The collective list of their experiences includes engineers, building consultants, architects, meteorologists, building code specialists, thermal imagers, estimators, and drone operators.
Some have even used contractors to present their claims as experts on the ground that they are familiar with the facts.
Pick and choose at your own informed discretion. Each case is different, each claim is different, and the attorneys and adjusters and their clients are different. It must be clearly understood when deciding on whether to retain experts and if so, who and what kind: No one size will fit all.
