A Total System Failure

There has been much talk of course about the stunning reversal of fortune for the plaintiff in Pelletier v. Sordoni/Skanska upon the Connecticut Supreme Court's overturn of the judgment. The amount at stake, from a jury's verdict and accrued interest, totaled more than $41 million. That is a massive amount of money. The plaintiff, a construction worker severely injured by a falling beam, must have been devastated by this outcome. News of it must have hit his counsel, presumably on contingency, right in the pit of the stomach. Verdicts of that height come once in a lifetime and, for most personal injury lawyers, never.

Forensic: Putting Numbers Into Clear English

At the core of any lawsuit involving valuation is a claim of financial loss, fraud or unfairness, and a desire to be made whole. The forensic accountant is called upon to investigate and analyze financial information and reach a conclusion upon which a litigant may rely. It seems a straightforward assignment. Consider though, that most of the cases which involve valuation will never be tried. Often, they are best left out of the public courtroom because privacy may be of paramount concern, or the dispute is tied to emotions not addressed, or indeed exacerbated by the traditional adversarial process.
