What is a damages expert witness?

Damages expert witness candidates typically have an advanced degree (MBA, PhD) and years of experience in forensic accounting, business valuation, financial forensics, certified public accounting (CPA), and/or economic damages analysis. Damages experts have the ability to measure, financially, the extent of harm a plaintiff has suffered.

What types of cases require a damages expert witness?

Examples of litigation matters that Cahn Litigation Services has identified damages experts witnesses for include:

• commercial litigation (e.g., breach of contract disputes),
• intellectual property matters in Federal Court (e.g., patent infringement, trade secret theft, trademark, copyright, FRAND),
• class action suit involving real estate fraud,
• reasonable royalty damages calculations for a commercial dispute,
• business valuation,
• economic analysis for a business interruption dispute resolution,
•  wrongful death causation,
• complex litigation involving medical malpractice,

• personal injury, and

What litigation support work might a damages expert witness be expected to perform?

Expert witness services could include damages analyses, arbitration, expert opinion, expert reports, depositions, and/or expert testimony in the courtroom. In a high-profile case, or litigation involving a significant financial stake, law firms may require a damages expert with prior expert witness testimony experience. In addition, clients may seek an economic damages expert for pre-litigation consulting work.
