>> My name is Sandy Craft [phonetic] and I am a Forensic Litigation
and Evaluation Services Senior Associate.
I do Forensic Investigative work as well as I work
for damages experts in civil litigation disputes.
We get involved with civil disputes which there's party A and party B.
And there's usually a dollar amount at stake and that's where we come in.
We'll be hired mostly by attorneys and sometimes by insurance carriers.
And what we do is we develop an analysis and give an opinion
on what that dollar amount should be.
And we could be on either side of the fence.
We could be on the plaintiff side, party A, or the defense side, party B. And we try to come
up with an objective opinion to what the dollar amount should be and then the expert witness,
which is a partner who I work for, or a senior manager will then testify to that number
that either a private jury or in a deposition.
And my role is a lot of the underlying analysis and fact finding
and reviewing documents to help support that member.
