Preparing expert reports on class damages requires coordinating with experts, synthesizing complex financial data, researching methodologies, and ensuring compliance with legal standards—a process that typically takes 12+ hours of attorney time. Manual drafting risks calculation errors, inconsistent formatting, and missed citations to supporting precedents that can undermine expert credibility.
Drafting expert reports on class damages requires synthesizing complex economic methodologies, voluminous financial data, and rigorous legal standards for admissibility. Traditional preparation takes weeks of expert time and costs tens of thousands of dollars, while any methodological weakness can derail class certification or damages recovery.
CaseMark automates the creation of comprehensive, court-ready expert reports on class damages that meet Daubert and Rule 702 standards. Upload your case documents and financial data, and receive a professionally structured report with economic analysis, damages calculations, and supporting documentation in minutes.
This workflow is applicable across multiple practice areas and use cases
Employment class actions require expert reports on wage-and-hour damages, discrimination impacts, and class-wide economic harm calculations for certification and trial.
Employment class actions (wage theft, discrimination, misclassification) are among the most common class action types and require identical expert damage methodologies and Daubert/Rule 23 compliance.
Securities class actions require expert reports on market damages, loss causation, and class-wide investor harm following fraud or disclosure violations.
Securities fraud class actions are a major litigation category requiring sophisticated economic expert reports on damages, often using regression analysis and market-based methodologies identical to this workflow.
Commercial disputes involving multiple plaintiffs or class-wide business damages require expert economic analysis and damage calculations with similar methodological rigor.
Commercial litigation often involves complex damages calculations, expert witness reports, and economic analysis that follow the same professional standards and methodologies as class action expert reports.
Mass tort and product liability cases involving multiple plaintiffs require expert economic reports on class-wide damages and individual harm calculations.
Mass tort cases often proceed as class actions or MDLs requiring expert damage reports with similar structure, methodology disclosure, and Daubert compliance for certification and settlement.
Expert reports on class damages must satisfy Daubert standards and Federal Rule of Evidence 702, which require that the expert's methodology be scientifically reliable, based on sufficient facts or data, and applied reliably to the case facts. The report must demonstrate that damages can be measured on a class-wide basis using common evidence rather than individualized inquiries. CaseMark structures reports to address these admissibility requirements explicitly, including methodology justification, data reliability analysis, and alignment with accepted economic principles.
CaseMark employs established economic methodologies such as regression analysis, before-and-after comparisons, yardstick approaches, and lost profits models based on your case-specific data. The system analyzes your uploaded financial records and transaction data to determine aggregate class damages, per-member harm, and variations across subgroups. All calculations are presented step-by-step with formulas, data inputs, and outputs, ensuring transparency and replicability as required by courts.
Yes, when you upload opposing expert reports, CaseMark identifies competing methodologies and conclusions to distinguish and address proactively. The generated report explains why your chosen methodology is more appropriate, addresses potential criticisms, and demonstrates superior reliability. This anticipatory approach strengthens your expert's position during Daubert hearings and cross-examination.
CaseMark automatically organizes comprehensive appendices including detailed calculation spreadsheets, data tables, copies of key source documents, the expert's CV, a complete list of materials considered, demonstrative exhibits, and a bibliography of all cited sources. All appendices are clearly labeled and formatted to professional litigation standards, facilitating easy reference during depositions and trial testimony.
CaseMark generates a comprehensive, court-ready expert report in approximately 25 minutes after you upload your case documents and financial data. This represents a 99% time reduction compared to the 40+ hours typically required for manual preparation, allowing you to meet tight deadlines while maintaining the highest quality standards for expert testimony.
