Forensic Accounting – Litigation & Expert Witness Services

YA Group’s Litigation & Expert Witness Services provide independent, objective financial analysis to support attorneys, corporate counsel, insurers, and individuals involved in disputes. Financial issues frequently sit at the center of litigation, and the ability to clearly explain complex economic concepts to judges, juries, and arbitrators can significantly influence outcomes. We serve as trusted advisors throughout the litigation process, from early case assessment and discovery to deposition, trial, and settlement, providing credible and defensible opinions grounded in rigorous financial analysis.

We specialize in matters involving insurance disputes, commercial damages, lost profits, loss of value, and loss of earnings. Each of these areas requires deep technical expertise and a disciplined methodology. In insurance litigation, we evaluate coverage disputes, analyze claim calculations, and provide independent assessments of economic damage. In commercial disputes, we quantify damages resulting from breach of contract, business interruption, partnership disputes, intellectual property infringement, and other complex financial matters. In individual litigation, we quantify lost historical earnings, the loss of earning capacity, and present value those loses along with life care plans to present value.

Lost profits analysis is one of the most common and highly scrutinized areas of litigation. Our team evaluates historical performance, industry trends, market conditions, and economic factors to determine what a business would have earned absent the damaging event.

Similarly, loss of value assessments require careful valuation techniques to measure the reduction in business or asset value caused by wrongful acts. Loss of earnings analyses often arise in employment disputes and personal injury cases, where we quantify the economic impact of career disruption or diminished earning capacity.
