When a scuba diving accident occurs, there is often no witness to the diver's last moments alive. That's when you need the help of an experienced diving accident investigator or expert witness, like Steve Barsky. Steve has investigated sport diving accidents in Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Illinois, Michigan, Nevada, Oregon, Texas, Utah, and Washington, as well as the Dominican Republic and Cozumel. Steve has first hand experience working with dive stores, manufacturers, instructors, resorts, and charter vessels and knows exactly what can go wrong and how an accident can occur.

Diving accidents happen even under the best of conditions and with the best trained divers. Rarely does an accident involve an equipment failure, but most frequently involves a series of mistakes made by the divers or the people involved in organizing the dive. To figure out what went wrong, you have to know what questions to ask and who to talk to get the answers you need.

In many cases, the coroner's report may lead the attorneys handling a case to arrive at conclusions that the evidence does not support. Although Steve does not have a medical background, his extensive knowledge of diving physiology allows him to understand and identify issues that may not be apparent upon initially examining a case.
