What Goes Into the Report
Structure of a Defensible Damages Report
A useful expert damages report lays out the underlying facts, the methodology used to analyze them, the data relied upon, and the conclusions reached, in a structure that anticipates scrutiny under deposition and cross-examination. That means showing the work, not just stating a number — every figure needs to trace back to a data source and a clearly explained method.
How I Approach Reporting
Clarity for a Non-Technical Audience
I write these reports with the same principle I apply to all expert witness work: complex technical analysis has to be explainable in language attorneys, judges, and juries can follow, without sacrificing the underlying technical accuracy that makes the analysis defensible in the first place.
