Case Development and Consulting

For over 20+ years Continental Adjusters’ President, Steve Mayor, has fulfilled the “expert” needs of attorneys.  His ability to provide this expertise comes simply from real world, “boots on the ground” experience.  He has inspected, estimated and negotiated thousands of losses at various (manufacturing and distribution facilities, school districts, cities, apartments, etc.) locations - from the moment of the loss through final construction.  With this experience he knows how to help you develop a case and provide a perspective not possible to obtain in a lawyer’s office.    We don’t just show up on our deposition date and state our opinion.  Rather, we work side by side with many of the country’s largest firms to help shepherd the case to the best possible outcome.

In one instance Mr. Mayor, along with his tenured staff, inspected, surveyed and estimated losses for over 2.5 million square feet of buildings spread over fifteen school campuses; total loss exceeded $100,000,000 to a school district after a devastating hurricane.  In addition, Mr. Mayor was engaged by this law firm to provide expert testimony regarding his opinions and conclusions relative to causation.  As stated by the Senior Partner in the law firm “Mr. Mayor performed all services professionally and expediently.  Continental was responsive to all requests and provided excellent work product,” which largely contributed to our success in litigation.

Qualifications

Mr. Mayor, over the past twenty years has been a fact and expert witness for several property and product liability claims.  He has trial experience as an expert witness and provides his expert witness capabilities only to the insured.

What is an expert witness?

 An expert witness or professional witness is an expert who by virtue of education, training, skill or experience is believed to have expertise and specialized knowledge in a particular subject beyond that of the average person, sufficient that others may officially and legally rely upon the witness's specialized opinion about an evidence or fact issue within the scope of his expertise, referred to as the expert opinion, as an assistance to the fact-finder.   Expert witnesses may also deliver expert evidence about facts from the domain of their expertise.
