We collaborate with attorneys and insurance companies to demystify the methodologies employed by opposing damages experts. Our services include:

• Evaluation of Opposing Damage Reports: Critically analyzing the reliability and validity of the opposing expert’s analyses.
• Deposition and Courtroom Testimony Assistance: Providing strategic support and developing exhibits for litigation.
• Cross Examination Assistance: Helping counsel challenge unreliable and speculative aspects of opposing analyses.

Economatrix analyzes expert reports on damages that have been submitted in litigated matters. We carefully review the opposing expert’s analyses and determine the reliability of the analysis and the opinions being put forward by the opposing expert. As part of this process we help counsel effectively challenge through cross examination the unreliable and speculative aspects of the opposing expert’s analysis.
