Consultant Lawrence Kamm, Expert Witness, Licensed Electrical Engineer

I analyze accidents ("Accident Reconstruction") and defective products. I am an experienced expert witness applying electrical engineering to lawsuits for

• Electrical injury
• Electric Shock (less than electrocution)
,
• Electrocution (a lethal electric shock)
• Electrical Fire
• Electrical Explosion
• Electrical Flash Burn
• Electrical Medical Devices
• Electric Power tools
• Electrical Heat
• Automation
• Electrical Safety
• Electrical accidents
• Product Liability (defective products)

To discuss your case telephone me, Lawrence Kamm, at 619-224-3494.You may them send me a package of evidence to study and I will phone you with an opinion. You may then decide whether to retain me as a consultant or expert.

Electrical engineering college study, many years of electrical design engineering experience, and years of service as an expert witness are backgrounds for my expert witness analyses of electrical accidents.

As I build my opinion I visualize a cross examining attorney before me, ask myself what difficult questions he might ask me; and prepare full answers. When I don't know I say I don't know. So far, no embarassments. I assume no technical training in the jury and speak as if addressing a non-technical friend.

I work for both plaintiffs and defendants. My testimony has won million dollar cases.

I do not charge for cross-country travel time so I have cases around the country.
