Connecting Traffic Counts to Economic Costs
When a property's access is changed, its value changes with it. The central challenge for litigators is bridging the gap between a traffic engineer's report and the real-world economic damage.
A traffic engineer can testify about vehicle counts and levels of service. We provide expert testimony on the economic consequences.
We translate complex traffic data into a clear, compelling, and financially-driven damages model. We show how a new median, a "Right-In/Right-Out" (RIRO) restriction, or lost "curb cuts" directly destroy a property's development potential and economic viability.
Our Approach: Translating Engineering into Damages
- Quantifying Lost Utility: We analyze how access changes impact specific uses (e.g., retail, industrial, hospitality) and render once-viable business models impossible.
- "Before and After" Financial Modeling: We model the "Highest and Best Use" both before and after the access change, demonstrating the quantifiable loss in value.
- Rebutting Mitigation Claims: We provide rigorous, data-driven analysis to rebut opposing claims that "reasonable" alternative access exists.
- "Bilingual" Expertise: We speak the language of both traffic engineers and real estate finance. We can read their reports, understand their data, and then build a financial model that proves your client's damages.
Expertise That Bridges the Gap
Attorneys retain us to be the crucial link between engineering data and economic reality. We provide the financial "why" that completes your case, delivering a defensible damages number that the court can understand.
