Insurance Bad Faith & Business Interruption Expert Witness
Bad faith and unreasonable claims handling disputes often require experts who can speak credibly to industry practice while reconstructing the financial quantum the insurer should have accepted on a reasonable evaluation of the evidence.
Business interruption experts analyse the insurer’s methodology, document production, and timeline decisions against market norms, while independently calculating loss of gross profit, ICW, and indemnity period issues.
Credentials spanning loss adjusting (CILA) and forensic accountancy (ACA/FCCA) are frequently persuasive where credibility turns on both policy mechanics and financial analysis depth.
