What is a business interruption expert witness?

A forensic accountant, economist, or specialist loss analyst who translates trading data into a court-ready view of the income a business would have earned but for an insured peril or breach.

In federal and state proceedings, those opinions are shaped by Federal Rule of Evidence 702 and Daubert — transparency, objectivity, and fair treatment of competing methodologies matter as much as the headline loss figure.
