Lost Wages & Wrongful Death Damages
Overview
We have expertise quantifying personal damages relating to a wrongful termination, employment discrimination, personal injury and wrongful death. We use analytical concepts like those used in evaluating commercial losses, such as projecting the “but for” scenario and comparing it to impacted earnings. However, there are unique considerations in determining personal losses, such as the plaintiff’s earnings capacity, the plaintiff’s worklife expectancy, and the value of a potential loss of household services due to injury or death.

Meyer, Personal Representative of the Estate of Marvin Harold Ford, deceased, 2015: We evaluated and testified in trial to economic loss due to alleged wrongful death on behalf of the Plaintiffs.
