Welcome to the

Consulting-Expert Witness Site

for

Oman Consulting, Inc./Robert M. Oman, Ph. D.

This site contains information on expert witnessing in physics, mathematics, auto crash analysis, accident reconstruction, industrial accidents, race car accidents and the biomechanics of human body motion in accidents. We have the capability to perform coefficient of friction measurements (slip-and-fall accidents), hotschock testing of automobile lamps (this determines if a lamp was burning when an accident occured), luminance testing and testing of most physical conditions.  We can also produce two dimensional and three dimensional animations.

Introduction

There are several areas in this site dealing with different aspects of my expert witness-consulting work. A good place to start is with the introduction that answers the question "What can a physicist do for me?" followed by a collection of possible scenarios.

General Background

There is general background information on me in the form of a short biography followed by a brief background and a formal CV.

Newsletter

Since many of my clients are not science oriented (If they were they would not need me!) I have a newsletter, One Expert's Opinion. I discuss a single topic of general interest in each newsletter. If you would like to receive copies of the newsletter, drop us a note through the "contact us" area available from the home page. As the newsletter articles accumulate they will be archived for reference. Clicking on newsletter accesses this area of the site.

Hot Topics

In addition to the newsletter, topics of immediate interest from time-to-time will be discussed under the category of "Hot Topics." These discussions are based on cases I have worked on, colleagues have worked on or situations I have come across in the literature that have a unique, unusual or different aspect that can be used in presenting a case. These "Hot Topic" articles will also be archived and available for reference. Clicking on "Hot Topics" accesses this area of the site.
