Litigation and expert witness
Equine appraisal for litigation.
Once a sale or an injury is with the attorneys, the number has to hold up under questioning.
Who reads it
Counsel on both sides, then a judge or a jury. Anything we cannot support in a deposition does not go in the report.
Standard of value
Set by the claim. Fair market value before and after an injury, diminution in value, loss of use, or replacement cost, depending on what is being argued.
What you get
- A written appraisal built for disclosure
- Before and after valuations where the claim needs them
- Deposition and trial testimony
- Review of an opposing appraisal where that is the assignment
What to have ready
- The complaint or claim, so we value the right thing
- Veterinary records from before and after the event
- Purchase and sale documents
- Any appraisal already produced in the matter
