At H.S. Grace & Company, Inc. we have an enviable track record of using our unique causation analyses for defendants, allowing them to defeat inflated non-factual damages.
Today, the burden of proof is on the plaintiff to provide economic and causal justification for reported loss. More often than not, however, the defendant does not sufficiently challenge these arguments. This is where we can help.
We can identify the critical parts of the damage analyses that indicate the actual amount of loss, if any. We conduct comprehensive analyses to test the plaintiff’s damages and the implied causation in the plaintiff’s damage model. We examine outside influences as well as:
| The industry environment | Operating and financial history |
| Corporate culture | Profitability of strategic initiatives |
| Risk management philosophy | Product strengths and weaknesses |
| Compensation strategy | Strategic marketing efforts |
| Ability to manage change | Cost and revenue drivers |
| Distribution | Management reporting systems |
| Activity-based costing | Effectiveness of policies and procedures |
This unmatched competency, which combines experience with analytical insight, clarifies causation and helps "defeat" inflated non-factual damages. Working with HSG produces an extraordinary return on your investment.
