An expert witness in marine litigation cases, such as AAC Marine Litigation, can establish the strengths or weaknesses of a case, which enables an attorney to focus on a strategy and prove the case in court. The findings and conclusions of marine litigation experts can also make or break a case, often compelling parties to offer or accept settlements, drop the suit altogether, or lead to increased damages and larger settlements.

Thermal imaging is necessary for determining the stability of any vessel with coring in its construction. An expert in thermal imaging must know how to operate the equipment effectively and accurately interpret the results that are based on an understanding of the material being surveyed, as well as an understanding of all variables that could contribute to a misrepresentation of the data.
