Firm Overview Personal Injury Damages
Why might I need Fulcrum's assistance?
Why we are better:
- Considerable technology investments in semi-automated models mean that we address personal injury and wrongful death cases faster, and for a lower cost.
- Our standard reporting includes interactive graphics that allow you to understand the sensitivity of the damage amount to key inputs. This facilitates the preparation and assessment of settlement offers.
- When used with a substantial number of claims (such as occurs with insurance companies), the use of a standardized model and preferred vendor means that claims are adjusted in a pre-approved and consistent manner, at a pre-approved and lower cost.
- We have substantial experience in personal injury cases. However, much of our damages analysis practice is for more complex valuation and forensic accounting cases that require complete customization. Consequently, our personnel are adept at addressing your unique issues, and accurately altering any portion of our “standard” analysis. When compared to internally-generated analysis, Fulcrum's calculations provide an independent perspective that aids settlement.
- We provide a one-stop-shop for other financial, economic, and e-discovery needs. A coordinated approach costs less overall, and delivers a better end-result.
- All input is in one place, and can be input directly by the attorney or adjuster. This organizes the process, and speeds delivery of your conclusions/results.
- If you need expert testimony, you have a pre-committed source for a report and related expert witness.
We prepare economic damages calculations that address future lost earnings and costs for both plaintiffs and defendants. These analyses consider economic factors, including:
- Future earnings and earnings growth
- Value of employment benefits
- Expected work life
- Present value discounts for future investment earnings
- Income tax impacts
- Lost household contributions
- Future consumption
To perform these calculations properly, the analyst must identify calculation inputs based on government statistics, economic studies, and market conditions. Additional inputs are based on the plaintiff’s demographic and earnings data.
