Forensic Actuary Experts

A actuary expert witness is an expert engaged to provide testimony related to a court case that involves actuarial assessment. Actuaries are professionals who analyze and assess risks associated with life events, such as mortality, disability, injury, retirement and liability. They are often called upon by attorneys to advise on the financial implications of potential outcomes in a court case. An actuary expert witness is typically tasked with providing an unbiased opinion of the financial impact of decisions made in court proceedings on behalf of parties involved — be it for defendants or plaintiffs.


An actuary may offer assistance in all phases of a lawsuit including discovery, settlement negotiation or trial preparation. During discoveries they may be asked to provide analyses that demonstrate how much a legal costs or damages resulting from a legal action would cost over time. In addition, actuaries can also offer their expertise toward settling cases and helping both parties better understand the possible implications financially speaking if certain decisions were made within the context of proceedings (e.g., what would happen if compensation was awarded without delay).


Actuaries are highly trained experts with vast experience analyzing risk associated with dispute resolution matter as well as their deep understanding provides them invaluable information when determining accurate predictions about future investments given current investment opportunities. They must maintain high professional standards when offering advice in order to protect their own reputation which ultimately enhances their position as an unbiased expert witness should actuarial matters come up during trials or before court hearings start.
