Biography

Steve Roensch has a robust background in engineering mechanics, physics and mathematics. He has 43 years of professional experience, has served as an expert witness on 83 cases for both defendant and plaintiff investigations, including 10 patent cases, and has testified 24 times. As an engineering consultant, he has worked on hundreds of mechanical designs and performed thousands of engineering analyses on a wide range of products, from medical devices to marine engines, rock crushers to aircraft, farm equipment to the International Space Station. Steve has taught engineering classes at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Marquette University, IBM Research & Development, and at client locations. In addition to a very strong theoretical background, he is a hands-on engineer, and has performed maintenance and repairs on his own SUVs, boats and aircraft. Steve investigates product failures and accidents from a fundamental engineering perspective. He specializes in determining if the product design meets applicable standards and is sufficient to survive. He documents his efforts thoroughly from the start, for concise presentation to the legal team, other experts and the jury. For example, Steve has served as an expert witness on Utility Task Vehicle (UTV) and All Terrain Vehicle (ATV) cases. These vehicles require special consideration of design, stability and modes of injury. He has also worked on many oilfield, transportation and consumer product cases. Steve is a certified private pilot and enjoys boating and fishing.
