Breach of Contract: Why Use an Expert
This is fundamental to any lawsuit where your goal is compensation. Let’s break this down between four basic classifications: (1) When you are suing and your lawyer is paid 40% of what you win, plus his out-of-pocket expenses, called shared winnings. (2) You provided a substantial portion of your lawyer’s upfront expenses on top of shared winnings (3) Your insurance company retained a lawyer to defend its exposure. (4) you retained an attorney to defend your exposure. I will explain why you need an expert in each of these four classifications. I will also explain what message you are sending to the other side when you don’t have one. I will also explain what your lawyer thinks about the strength of your case if he hasn’t advised you to get one; and how it affects your winnings when you don’t. We will address the issues as it relates to defense as well.
