Truck Crash, CDL standards and Fleet Safety Expert

Specialties & Experience of this Expert Witness

Additional Information

I bring a rare combination of command‑level enforcement experience, ACTAR‑certified reconstruction expertise, legal training, and national‑level fleet‑safety consulting to high‑stakes transportation matters. I served as Lieutenant and Commanding Officer of the Massachusetts State Police Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Section (2010–2022), directing statewide CMV enforcement, post‑crash investigations, MCSAP operations, and specialized inspections involving heavy trucks, buses, hazardous materials, and cargo‑tank vehicles. As a certified accident reconstructionist (ACTAR), licensed attorney, and licensed CDL operator, I provide integrated analysis of crash causation, regulatory compliance, driver behavior, and operational standards. My expertise includes video‑based crash reconstruction, human‑factors evaluation, and driver training in defensive driving and collision‑avoidance using CDL‑based standards. I also serve as a crash‑investigator trainer for a national DOT‑compliance company and have completed 400+ fleet risk assessments, safety audits, and mock DOT compliance reviews across the United States. My work includes deep experience in fleet safety risk management, carrier vetting standards, and FMCSA safety data analysis (SMS, MCMIS, inspection trends). I provide expert and fact‑witness testimony in state and federal litigation involving CMV crashes, FMCSA compliance, driver qualification, hours‑of‑service, cargo securement, hazardous materials, equipment failure, human‑factors analysis, and fleet‑safety management controls.
