ThemeVision’s trial consultants routinely assist corporate and individual policyholders and their counsel in matters related to their property and casualty insurance coverage.
Where potentially dispositive issues will be heard by the court, ThemeVision’s trial consultants use hearing simulation methodologies – essentially, mock bench trials and mock hearings -- to empirically assess the effectiveness of briefing, demonstrative exhibits, and oral arguments.
Where insurance coverage issues will be tried to a jury, ThemeVision’s trial consultants employ a variety of social science methodologies (including focus groups, mock trials, jury simulation studies, and other methodologies) to assist trial teams with developing effective themes, arguments, demonstrative evidence, and jury selection strategies.
