Workflow

Overview

CaseMark's Expert Report on Class Damages skill drafts comprehensive, litigation-ready expert reports that demonstrate class-wide measurability of harm under a common methodology. The AI structures every section to survive Daubert challenge and support FRCP 23(b)(3) predominance, from methodology selection through aggregate damages calculation and rebuttal of competing approaches.

Drafting expert damages reports for class actions is one of the most time-intensive tasks in complex litigation. Attorneys and experts must navigate Daubert admissibility requirements, select and justify appropriate methodologies, calculate aggregate damages, and anticipate opposing challenges — all while ensuring the report supports FRCP 23(b)(3) predominance. A single structural oversight can result in exclusion of the expert or denial of class certification.

CaseMark automates the heavy lifting of expert report drafting by generating a fully structured, court-ready document that addresses every critical component — from engagement scope and qualifications to methodology justification and compliance verification. The AI ensures nothing falls through the cracks, letting your expert focus on substantive analysis and professional judgment rather than document architecture.

Questions

Does this report satisfy Daubert admissibility standards?

Yes. CaseMark structures every section of the expert report to address Daubert/FRE 702 reliability factors, including methodology selection, peer acceptance, error rates, and testability. The built-in compliance checklist ensures no admissibility requirement is overlooked.

Can I use this for both class certification and trial phases?

Absolutely. CaseMark's expert report workflow is designed to support class certification under FRCP 23(b)(3), merits briefing, and trial testimony. You can tailor the scope and depth of analysis to match the phase of litigation.

What damages methodologies does the report support?

CaseMark supports multiple recognized damages methodologies including regression analysis, conjoint analysis, yardstick comparisons, before-and-after analysis, and market-based approaches. The AI helps you select and justify the methodology best suited to your case facts.

How does CaseMark handle opposing expert reports?

If you upload opposing expert reports, CaseMark will generate a rebuttal framework that distinguishes competing methodologies, identifies analytical weaknesses, and reinforces the reliability of your chosen approach. This prepares your expert for deposition and cross-examination.

Is the generated report ready to file as-is?

CaseMark produces a comprehensive, professionally structured draft that covers all required sections of an expert damages report. Your expert should review the calculations, verify data inputs, and apply their professional judgment before signing and filing.

Does this work for jurisdictions that follow Frye instead of Daubert?

Yes. CaseMark accommodates Daubert, Frye, and Sargon admissibility standards. You specify your jurisdiction's standard during setup, and the AI tailors the methodology justification and general acceptance analysis accordingly.
