"Why do law firms need Litigation Consultants?" when they have already retained and expert witness. While there is some crossover between litigation consulting and expert work, only 20% of expert witness consultants are also fully qualified to be litigation consultants.
Our Case Connect Community Litigation Consultants are both capable of taking a broad view while being highly knowledgeable and skilled to apply the requisite domain knowledge. They have highly advanced experience with legal support services, searching for, and identifying relevant scientific, technical, engineering, and medical studies. This skill set in itself provides an invaluable depth that is priceless to law firms, attorneys, and insurers.
Litigation Consultants find both the sources of data, and have the ability to recognize that the existence and relevance of most available data was not developed simply for establishing the cause and origin of failures and accidents, or for the circumstances under investigation. This is why it is so important that Litigation Consultants have solid training and experience that underlies many scientific, engineering, forensic, medical and technical disciplines.
Litigation Consultants work from a much larger base of information. They have the necessary skills and experience to use advanced statistics and artificial intelligence to analyze (or mine) this data in order to extract the insight it holds for the specific situation under investigation. By combining this data with well-established, fundamental scientific, forensic, technical and analytics principles Litigation Consultants have the ability to adapt and use this data in applicable models relevant to the situation under investigation and to fill in gaps in the data that exists.
