PLAINTIFF & DEFENSE EXPERT WITNESS
Mike Panish has been working in the field of construction for over 40 years.
As a working member of his construction crews, he was responsible for
on- site job safety meetings, group instruction and safe usage of tools
and construction methods in all of his companies. Mike is a licensed general
contractor, electrical contractor, cabinet and millwork contractor, door,
lock and security hardware contractor, and paint & finish contractor
in the State of California. His crews have worked consistently without
any major injuries or accidents due to the continuous safe atmosphere
he has created and maintained on all of his jobsites, workshops and work places.
Mike has been designated by Plaintiff and Defense as construction expert
witness in jobsite injury and accident cases resulting from improper or
unsafe tool usage, inappropriate safety precautions, and hazardous working
conditions. He has been called upon by insurance adjusters and claims
representatives to evaluate the jobsite conditions and assist them in
determining the reason for the claim or injury. In addition, insurance
claims adjusters have called upon him to help them analyze the causation
of fires and floods that have resulted from incorrect usage or mishandled
tools and equipment. Mike has been an invaluable part of the team representing
the Plaintiff when a claim of unsafe and reckless behavior on the part
of the employer was determined. His past experience in the trades has
allowed his evaluations to carry significant weight during mediations
and arbitration hearings. The vast majority of cases where he was the
retained expert have settled favorably for his clients.
