ADAPTIVE ARCHITECTURE

Expert Witness Services

Todd Rosenblum, AIA and Adaptive Architecture can be a valuable addition to your legal team. We have provided expert witness services in premises liability and architectural/construction negligence cases for some of New York State's most respected law firms, including Whiteman Osterman and Hanna, O'Connell and Aronowitz, Donohue Sabo Varley and Armstrong, Rosenblum Ronan Kessler and Sarachan, and Finkelstein Levine Gittelson Partners.

During the pre-suit and pre-trial discovery phases of your case we can:

  • Research all applicable codes and standards
  • Review construction drawings and specifications
  • Perform field visits
  • Provide written reports
  • Provide construction estimates
  • Create models and exhibits for trial

We are qualified to interpret and help you apply the information contained in the International Building Code, American National Standard for Accessible and Usable Buildings and Facilities (ICC/ANSI A117.1), Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA Title III), and local city and town zoning and planning ordinances. We can show you how to employ these standards in litigation to your benefit.

We can aid you in developing theories of liability based upon deviations from acceptable architectural and construction standards. As cases progress, we can answer questions as they arise and, if required, attend depositions. If a case goes to trial or arbitration, we will provide strong expert witness testimony.
