Human Factors Expert Witness
Consulting and testifying expert services in product liability and personal injury matters involving use error, warnings and instructions, and foreseeable misuse.
I evaluate how people actually use mobility devices and home-use medical devices — where designs, warnings, and instructions hold up, and where they invite error.
I am Michael Boyce, Ph.D., a human factors engineer and a power wheelchair user. In the 12 years since completing my doctorate, I have studied how people use technology, make errors with it, and recover from those errors in healthcare, assistive technology, and simulation settings.
