- Secure Remote Server, and Humatec Email Address help toprotect your personal or business computer files from being subpoenaed. Also assists with reports and Notice of Deposition compliance request.
- Expert Report Peer Review helps the expert to be sure that the report is clearly written, grammatically correct, stays within the scope of work requested by the client and related topics. The expert’s opinions are not reviewed except with respect to the scope of work requested by the client.
- Depo/Trial Preparation helps the ensure that the expert is prepared before being prepared by the attorney. It covers topics which may not be covered by the client such as when to request from Humatec since the attorney who engaged the expert does not represent the expert and cannot provide advice to the expert during a deposition or trial.
- E&O Insurance is Peace of Mind for an Expert Witness. Our policy is specifically written exclusively for Expert Witness work. Most professional E&O Policies do not mention Expert Witness work as a covered category; therefore, your own E&O policy, if you have one, may not cover Expert Witness work as the insurance company may determine Expert Witness work as outside the scope of your professional E&O coverage. Many experts do not carry E&O Insurance as they will cite the facts about the few times that an Expert Witness has been sued. The same could be said for the Life and Home Insurance Policies carried on yourself and your home. You hope you never need it; however, if you do, you’re very happy you have the coverage. This benefit alone saves you over $2000/year when your work is performed under the Humatec name.
- Legal Advice – It is not unusual for an Expert Witness to be put in a difficult situation during the Discovery process or while in a Deposition. The attorney who engaged Humatec is not permitted to provide legal advice to the Expert Witness as the attorney does not represent the Expert Witness. Humatec has available on an as-needed basis our Corporate attorney to assist on issues related to an Expert Witness while performing their work under the Humatec name.
- Active Case Search Program is available for the Associate and included with the Alliance Program. This database is constantly updated and includes over 80% of the active or just filed cases in the United States. An Associate and Alliance Member have access to this program so that they can search for specific cases in their respective field of expertise. Attorneys listed with those cases can be contacted to request that Humatec and the expert be engaged on the case if their area of expertise is needed.
- Humatec’s Loyalty Program is exclusively for those individuals who are invited to join and become a Member at the highest level. The specific benefits of this program may vary from year to year and should be discussed with the Humatec leadership team for more information.
