Economic Damages FAQs

1)  When should an expert be hired to assist in an economic damages case?

While it is preferable to get a economic damages accounting expert hired from the start, many times it is not financially feasible.  Veriti can assist during the litigation process as a consulting expert to determine if a plaintiff has an economic claim that exceeds the fees involved to prove their case. Conversely, Veriti’s litigation expert witness professionals have reviewed reports for defendants that are deemed to be speculative claims and not based on accurate assumptions and data.

2) The financial component of a litigated matter seems to be the most difficult to convey to the judge or jury.  What sets Veriti apart from other financial experts?

Veriti’s managing directors have decades of experience testifying before judges and juries.  They are down- to-earth professionals who are uniquely skilled at conveying very technical and complex economic damages calculations in a manner that is easily understandable.  By using charts and graphs to demonstrate financial analysis, Veriti’s economic damages expert witness can explain findings to the Court in a simple and cogent manner.

3) Who should hire the forensic economic damages expert – the attorney or the client (plaintiff or defendant)?

It may be preferable to be hired by the attorney or law firm so the accounting expert witness and the attorney can maintain privilege that is otherwise discoverable by the opposing side.  In most instances, the law firm will retain the economic damages expert testimony, with the financial responsibility resting with the person or entity involved in the lawsuit.
