About
Peter Petrovsky, PE, earned registrations as Professional Engineer in Civil Engineering, as well as, in Mechanical Engineering. Additionally, he earned licenses as a General Engineering Contractor, General Building Contractor, and Earthwork and Paving Contractor. His experience in the fields of research, civil engineering, applied mechanics, and contracting spans over three decades. For over two decades he provided services as an expert witness in applied civil and mechanical engineering science, civil engineering, building, and earthwork contracting. His broad-based materials engineering education and experience allows him to examine product defect and safety issues of metals, plastics, glass, and ceramics, including corrosion, fatigue, overload, and material selection. His strength and experience are to successfully combine engineering and applied mechanics with the field experience and contracting skills. Understanding of the mechanical and civil engineering design and principles, combined with knowledge of the standards of use, are rare but, essential elements to better understand the defects (or the lack thereof), and the connection to the resulting injury. He has the ability to distill complex technical issues to a palatable presentation in the appropriate forum. Served in over 700 plaintiff and defense cases. His strength and experience is to successfully combine engineering and applied mechanics with field experience and contracting skills. His shirtsleeve approach to problem-solving gives him the ability to distill complex technical issues to a palatable presentation in the appropriate forum. Assisted counsel on cases in California, New York, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Hawaii, Kentucky, Illinois, Washington, and Nevada. His word of advice to attorneys and carriers is to consult with an expert at the onset of a dispute rather than to wait for time to designate. A seasoned expert will give you focus and bearing that will save you time and money.
