Frequently Asked Questions
What is a lost profits analysis?
A lost profits analysis quantifies the profits a business would have earned but for the defendant’s wrongful act — such as a breach of contract, fraud, or business interruption. It typically involves projecting revenue and expenses using historical data, industry benchmarks, and economic factors.
How are economic damages calculated in a wrongful termination case?
We calculate the difference between what the plaintiff would have earned had they remained employed and what they actually earned (or are expected to earn) after termination. This includes base salary, benefits, bonuses, stock options, and other compensation — discounted to present value.
What is the difference between general damages and economic damages?
Economic damages (also called special damages) are quantifiable financial losses such as lost wages, medical expenses, and lost profits. General damages (also called non-economic damages) include pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, and other intangible losses. We specialize in calculating economic damages.
Do you provide expert testimony for economic damage cases?
Yes. Our professionals are experienced expert witnesses who prepare detailed expert reports and testify in depositions, trials, and arbitration hearings regarding economic damages calculations.
