  2. How do I get started?
    Contact us to initiate an engagement letter.  Please provide (i) the full name of the case, and (ii) the name and contact information of the person(s) paying Fulcrum’s fee(s).  Fulcrum needs to receive both a signed engagement letter and the fixed fee before beginning work.
  3. Once I have provided you a signed engagement letter and the settlement report fee, what other information do you need before I get the report? How fast can I get it?
    Prior to obtaining the report, you will provide Fulcrum the following four items related to the Plaintiff:
    1. First and last name
    2. Gender
    3. Date of birth
    4. Date of incident

Once these four items are received, Fulcrum will email you the interactive settlement report within approximately two business days.

  1. If I already received the settlement report and I need a written formal report, what other information do you need before I get the report and how fast can I get it?
    You will need to complete a Fulcrum form that provides additional information from the factual evidence in your case. Fulcrum will email you a formal report within approximately three business days of obtaining this information and the fee for the formal report.
  2. Can I purchase a formal report without a first purchasing a settlement report?
    You may combine the phases into one step, which can serve to speed up the process if you know you will need a formal report.  However the cost for each phase still applies.
  3. What type of software do I need to run the interactive settlement report?
    The interactive report will run on Microsoft Excel version 7.0 or higher.
  4. How experienced are you?
    Fulcrum’s expert witnesses have significant relevant experience, with as much as thirty years experience calculating damages. We’ve worked on numerous large and complex lost compensation cases, as well as more modest and straightforward calculations of losses.
  5. Your reports and calculations are considerably less expensive than what I have been paying.  How can you provide a quality product this inexpensively?

Our model has been thoroughly tested and reflects our many years of experience performing these types of calculations.  Using this proprietary model allows Fulcrum to eliminate unnecessary redundancies between projects and perform only the incremental analysis necessary for customization to the facts of a specific case.
