Proving Unique Damages

Description:
Are valuable damages being left on the table in your subrogation claims?
Join Suzanne Radcliff and Jason Schulze as they examine how property insurers and their counsel can identify, prove, and recover unique categories of damages that are often overlooked in subrogation claims.

September 10: Engineering Expert Reports or Testimony for Impact Claims

Title:
Engineering Expert Reports or Testimony for Impact Claims

Description:
Construction litigation is inherently complex, relying on expert witnesses to bridge the critical gap between technical project facts and legal arguments. Designed for attorneys and insurance professionals, this program addresses the vital role experts play in surviving procedural challenges and proving defect or delay claims. Our multidisciplinary panel featuring veteran building consultants, a forensic accountant, and seasoned trial attorneys brings decades of firsthand experience to help effectively deploy experts without risking case dismissal due to technicalities.

This webinar covers the complete lifecycle of expert witness engagement, starting with strategic selection and vetting. Attendees will learn how to establish bulletproof methodological reliability using industry standards like AACE 29R-03 and ASTM E620-18 to withstand strict Daubert scrutiny. The presentation will also detail the role of the economic damages expert, how to strategically leverage non-testifying consulting experts to shape pre-trial discovery, and best practices for preparing experts to deliver compelling, jargon-free testimony at deposition and trial.

Outline:

• Introduction.
• Selection & Vetting of Experts.
• Establishing Reliable Methodology.
• The Role of the Economic Damages Expert.
• Pre-Trial Strategy & Depositions.
• Trial Testimony & Cross Examination.
• Conclusion.

Learning Objectives:

• Identify and properly vet the right construction expert for your specific case by spotting advocacy red flags and prioritizing methodological reliability to survive Daubert challenges.
• Apply transparent industry methodologies such as AACE 29R-03, the Measured Mile, and ASTM E620-18 to bridge the analytical gap between raw project facts and admissible conclusions.
• Integrate engineering and economic damages experts to ensure technical inputs feed into a cohesive damages model.
• Deploy non-testifying consulting experts strategically to shape discovery, draft deposition questions, and pressure-test case theory.
• Navigate depositions and trial testimony by cultivating a personable teacher persona and cross-examining opposing experts effectively.

October 22: Opposing Expert Testimony: Preparing Before and Analyzing After

Testimony is what legal cases are made of. It is the most compelling evidence of all. Therefore, we should think VERY hard about the testimony in every legal matter we work on. First, we need to elicit the testimony we need, then, we need to analyze, summarize, and use it in well supported arguments.
In our work on building-related claims, we sometimes know (or think we know) what is going on without reviewing testimony, because construction projects are so document intensive. But in other cases we learn almost 100% of the "facts" from testimony. Of course, the "facts" described in testimony are not carved in stone. At best testimony is based on memory, prompted by contemporaneous documentation, and at worst it's intentionally false.
Every litigated case is a competing story of who is right and wrong, and how the law applies. Our primary job as expert consultants and witnesses is to organize and understand the evidence and explain it to our clients in plain language so that they can make smart decisions.
This program is all about how attorneys and experts should collect, organize, summarize, analyze, share, and use testimony to make and support their case. We will begin with our basic analysis. Then we'll be on to preparing for and questioning witnesses, analyzing testimony, and utilizing testimony in opinions and reports.

Opposing Expert Testimony: Preparing Before and Analyzing After

November 19: Allocation of Responsibility for Construction Defects

Title:
Allocation of Responsibility for Construction Defects

Description:
Allocation" is mostly "science," but critical parts include the “art” of applying professional judgment. Construction defect litigation claims come in all possible project types, sizes, and ownership structures. It's rare that construction defect (CD) claims are related to a single party. There are usually multiple parties who share responsibility, and sometimes, there are dozens.

Given how complicated allocation is, it's important to have an engineered process for assigning supportable portions of the cost to repair defects and other damages to each responsible party. This includes making a sensible list of defects ("issues") that can be allocated, assigning values to each issue or category, making a list of all possibly involved parties and understanding their role in the project, and assigning justified portions of responsibility for each issue. A real, professional, supportable allocation has a lot of moving parts. There is lots of math, connected spreadsheets, and professional judgment from expert witnesses and lawyers.

Our panel includes a claims professional, experienced lawyers with understanding of insurance coverage, and building experts who understand defect, analysis, and contractual roles & responsibilities, and a detail-oriented team to transform mountains of data into solutions.

Program Outline

• Introduction.
• Working Backwards.
• Analyzing Construction Defects.
• Allocation Matrix.
• Who - What - Where.
• Professional Judgement.
• Making a Case.
• Conclusion.

Learning Objectives

• Review the process for assigning supportable portions of the cost to repair defects and other damages to each responsible party.
• Define what parts of allocating responsibility are "science" with little room for argument.
• Examine what parts of allocating responsibility is more "art," or open to professional judgement.
• Show the common documents and spreadsheets seen in allocating responsibility for construction defects.
• Explain the math behind arriving at allocation percentages.
