The Only Expert With 17+ Years of Active Operational Experience at O'Hare
Paul Gaston served as General Foreman at O'Hare International Airport — one of the world's busiest aviation facilities — for over 17 years. That direct, hands-on operational knowledge of airport construction, maintenance, and safety standards is what separates our expert witness team from every other option available to attorneys.
An airport expert witness provides professional opinions on the standard of care governing airport operations, maintenance, and safety — and whether that standard was met or breached in a specific incident. In civil litigation involving airport premises liability, slip and fall, construction defect, ADA violations, or security failures, an airport expert witness bridges the gap between technical operational knowledge and the legal standard of negligence.
O'Hare International Airport handles over 83 million passengers annually and operates under some of the most complex construction, maintenance, and safety protocols of any public facility in the United States. Paul Gaston's 17+ years as General Foreman at O'Hare means he has personally managed the exact types of projects and maintenance operations that are at issue in airport liability cases — from terminal flooring replacement to HVAC system maintenance to occupied-zone construction safety.
Our airport expert witness services cover the full spectrum of civil liability cases arising from incidents at airports and transportation facilities. Whether you represent the plaintiff or the defense, our experts provide credible, well-supported opinions that withstand cross-examination.
Our airport expert witness services are available for plaintiff and defense counsel in all 50 states. Initial case consultation is provided at no charge.
