Damages Analysis Study
Damage analysis ensures every argument is persuasive and grounded in economic reality.
Why Damage Analysis Is Important
Understand What Drives and Mitigates Damages
Without testing your damage arguments before trial, you risk:
Assumptions About Juror Values – Making assumptions about what jurors value and what they dismiss.
Missing Emotional Drivers – Missing what drives higher awards — emotional and thematic triggers that influence compensation.
Overlooking Mitigating Factors – Overlooking what mitigates exposure — the arguments and facts that reduce perceived harm.
Uncertain Case Value – Entering trial uncertain of your true case value and vulnerable to surprise arguments.
Trying Your Case in the Dark – Without careful damage analysis, you’re trying your case in the dark.
Weakened Negotiation Leverage – Enter mediation or settlement discussions without tested data, relying on guesswork.
Ineffective Persuasive Storytelling – Failing to craft a damage narrative that connects logic and emotion to move jurors.
Misjudging Juror Reactions – Failing to anticipate how different jurors respond to damage arguments can leave high-impact evidence underutilized.
Vulnerability to Surprise Arguments – Without testing, opposing counsel can introduce unexpected challenges that weaken your case.
Inefficient Resource Allocation – Spending time and money on untested strategies can dilute focus from the most persuasive arguments.
