Auto racing's popularity has grown significantly in the United States in the last decade, contributing to the nearly $200 billion global industry. Amidst flags and flashy cars, the infrastructure of auto racing is often overlooked. But in these high-intensity events, the racetrack is subject to extreme structural and environmental challenges. How is that damage measured and how can a track be restored to a safe level? IMS had the opportunity to find an expert to answer those questions.
Primary Case Issue
Our client represented a property insurer in a dispute regarding the payout for environmental damage to a professional motorsport track. Our client sought an expert to inspect the track, assess its original construction, speak to the scope of damages, and opine on the repairs or replacements needed to restore it.
Expert Witness Requirements
- Extensive experience in racetrack design, construction, and maintenance
- Ability to travel and perform site inspection
- Previous expert witness experience preferred
