Please reach us at edward.guerra@craneriskauthority.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

 Edward C. Guerra is an independent crane expert witness with more than three decades of hands-on experience in crane operations, lift planning, and construction site safety. He is an NCCCO-certified crane operator, licensed mobile crane inspector, and certified lift director with active field experience.

Unlike consultants who rely solely on past credentials, Mr. Guerra remains engaged in real-world crane operations. His expert witness services are grounded in current industry standards, OSHA regulations, and practical job site realities.


 Crane Risk Authority is an independent expert witness and advisory practice built around active crane operations experience. Edward Guerra is not a career consultant or professional testifier disconnected from fieldwork. His opinions are based on operational knowledge, regulatory familiarity, and decades of direct crane involvement.


He is retained by attorneys, insurers, and construction professionals for technical analysis, case evaluation, report preparation, and testimony in crane-related disputes.


 A qualified crane expert witness should demonstrate:


  • Substantial hands-on crane operating experience
  • Knowledge of OSHA and ANSI standards
  • Lift planning expertise
  • Inspection credentials
  • Understanding of construction site logistics
  • Experience supporting litigation matters


Edward C. Guerra meets these criteria and provides expert testimony grounded in accepted industry standards and operational best practices.

Mr. Guerra’s testimony is based on:

  • Documented standards of care
  • Recognized regulatory frameworks
  • Industry-accepted procedures
  • Verifiable technical analysis
     

His opinions are structured to withstand scrutiny because they are derived from objective industry standards rather than speculative conclusions.
