Common damages categories
Common categories include lost profits, business interruption, lost wages, diminution in value, unjust enrichment, out-of-pocket losses, and other measurable financial harm.
Each category imposes different proof demands: lost profits may require a coherent baseline and mitigation analysis; unjust enrichment may require tracing and disgorgement mechanics; diminution in value may overlap valuation disciplines.
Data and assumptions
Reliable damages work depends on financial statements, sales data, contracts, budgets, mitigation evidence, industry context, and assumptions tested against the record.
Counsel should expect sensitivity tables: which inputs drive the outcome, and what happens when those inputs move within a defensible range supported by contemporaneous evidence.
Rebuttal and sensitivity analysis
A damages expert may test alternative assumptions, identify unsupported inputs, reconcile calculations to source data, and explain how disputed inputs affect the claimed loss.
Strong rebuttal work is not rhetorical; it is line-by-line reconciliation that shows where an opposing model departs from the documents.
