Michael T Motley

Dr. Motley is a Professor of Communication, specializing in message analysis. He provides opinions on the relative clarity and likely interpretations of warning labels, instructions, contracts, waivers, packaging, advertisements, and so forth. For example, suppose Mr. Smith gets injured using a product, sues, and the defense denies liability because he did not heed warnings that accompanied the instructions. Either side might want an expert opinion on the relative clarity of the warning and instructions. Other examples are available on his web site. Depending on the nature of the case, Dr. Motley can sometimes support his opinions with empirical data.
