Litigation Analytics, Inc. (LAI) was formed in 1985 to support the application of human capital economics to the assessment of economic damages in cases involving personal injury and wrongful death.  Originally headquartered in Virginia, the corporate headquarters was moved to Ridgefield, Connecticut, in 1987.  Since its inception, the firm has been involved in over 2,000 cases in all fifty states, including over 1,000 cases arising from 13 commercial air disasters.  Today, LAI is involved in cases from all types of accidents, including those arising from aviation and other forms of transportation, medical malpractice, construction and products liability.

In 1990 the economists at LAI began working with the life insurance industry to apply the techniques used in the courtroom to assess damages in death cases to the analysis of what that industry calls “human life value.”  That analysis is delivered to the life industry through LAI’s proprietary software product, Ph.D. LIFE, a derivative of LAI’s damages software, PERSONAL Ph.D. A simplified version of that system supports the human life value segment of the web site of the Life and Health Insurance Industry for Education (LIFE) at life-line.org.
