I litigated mesothelioma cases and our experts were paid $600-$1,100/hr, depending on the expert. $1,000 is high but not unheard of. What’s really wild is, in addition to prep time, they get paid that from the second they cross the threshold of their front door through when the return; many of our experts were flown in from the middle of the country to Oregon so they sure pocketed hefty sums.
- prepend 3y agoI think there are cost maximizing lawsuits (like mesothelioma) and then lawsuits that aren’t seeking to recover damages. And they pay their expert witnesses very differently. I also think there are many academics unwilling to serve as expert witnesses for tort lawsuits and they are different from “professional” expert witnesses.
- AlbertCory 3y agoGood point. I doubt there's much money involved in this Stanford thing.
