Compensatory Damages Questionnaire
(Plaintiff-Side Witness)

Summary

This template is a Compensatory Damages Questionnaire (Plaintiff-Side Witness) for an attorney that represents employees in employment discrimination matters to ask potential plaintiff-side witnesses to assess the plaintiff's compensatory damages (i.e., out-of-pocket expenses and emotional distress damages) in a current or potential litigation. This template includes practical guidance, drafting notes, and alternate and optional clauses. You can use this questionnaire to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of claims for compensatory damages to determine whether to take on a case or calculate a potential settlement demand or request for jury award.
