 Dr.
Zeigler developed considerable scientific and litigation expertise in construction
vibration damage, arising from extensive damage done to his home and many others during
a road reconstruction project. He was the primary scientific consultant throughout
that case. The consulting included damage and scientific documentation, testimony,
expert and attorney scientific preparation, vibration monitoring data analysis,
and case assembly all the way through trial. Although not a retelling of his
case, the Construction Vibration Damage Guide, in both the over 100 page free Homeowners version
and the over 300 page comprehensive Professional Edition, is founded, in part,
on what he learned in more than thirteen years of continuous work in the field.
Dr. Zeigler has served many times as both as a consultant and litigation expert on vibration damage cases in the U.S. and abroad. -
- In addition to writing and running Vibrationdamage.com, he also maintains a Vibrationdamage.com Facebook page at
https://www.facebook.com/vibrationdamage/. There, visitors can find vibration damage content not available on Vibrationdamage.com or in the downloadable free CVDG PDF, as well as leave their own comments and questions.

- As a scientific consultant, he has provided expertise on polymeric materials and applications to both Fortune 500 and smaller companies. He has served as an expert scientific witness for nearly 20 years,
testifying in deposition, hearings and trial, in various aspects of vibration effects on buildings and medical device materials, manufacturing, and
quality control. He is also a scientific consultant in those and related areas.
A curriculum vitae, listing publications, invited presentations, patents,
testimony and other relevant materials is available. A separate business website,
https://silchemy.com, has more information
on his background and work.
Dr. Zeigler and his wife live in the Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA metro area. He is involved in a number of public service activities.
