View serviceWhy Specialist Loss Quantification Matters
Quantum Is the Contested Battleground
In most negligence claims, liability is eventually established. The real fight is over quantum: precisely what financial loss was caused. Independent, rigorous loss quantification expert evidence is what determines outcomes.
Every Loss Scenario Is Different
A solicitor's negligence causing a lost property transaction, a surgeon's error causing permanent disability, an IFA's bad advice costing a pension: the financial modelling required for each is fundamentally different. Specialist expertise matters.
The Expert Must Withstand Scrutiny
Loss quantification reports in UK negligence proceedings are subject to rigorous CPR Part 35 requirements, joint statement obligations, and cross-examination by specialist negligence counsel. Our experts are selected for analytical precision and evidential resilience.

Frequently asked questions
- What does a financial loss expert witness do in a negligence claim?
- A financial loss expert witness independently quantifies the financial loss caused by the negligent act. This involves reconstructing past losses, modelling future losses, and producing a CPR Part 35 compliant expert report. The expert's duty is to the court, not to the instructing party.
- What is loss of a chance in professional negligence?
- Loss of a chance is used where the claimant cannot prove on the balance of probabilities what would have happened but for the negligence. The court assesses the probability of the favourable outcome and discounts the full financial loss accordingly. The expert quantifies the gross loss; that figure is then probability-weighted.
- What are Ogden Tables and how are they used in loss of earnings calculations?
- The Ogden Tables (Government Actuary's Department actuarial tables) are used in UK personal injury and clinical negligence proceedings to calculate multipliers for future loss of earnings and other recurring losses. The multiplier is applied to the net annual multiplicand. The appropriate table depends on the claimant's age, gender where relevant, and the applicable discount rate.
- What is a Single Joint Expert (SJE) in negligence proceedings?
- A Single Joint Expert is instructed by both parties jointly, or directed by the court, to provide one neutral quantum report. The SJE's duty is to the court. SJE appointments are common where proportionality requires a single financial expert on quantum rather than competing party experts.
- What must a CPR Part 35 expert report contain?
- Under CPR Part 35 and Practice Direction 35, an expert report must be addressed to the court; set out qualifications; state the substance of instructions; set out facts and assumptions; give reasoned opinion; summarise conclusions; confirm the duty to the court; and include a statement of truth.
