Shocking and unimaginable...
When a child loses their life or suffers a severe injury due to an accident, negligence, or medical malpractice; there is no amount of money that can reverse the wrong or reverse the clock. When the child’s family decides to bring suit against the defendant, a calculation of what that child could have earned during their lifetime can still assessed. A vocational expert can create a Loss of Earnings report and/or Life Care Plan based on the career aspirations (if known), education level of the child’s parents, the vocational and earning history of their parents and family, and other factors. This evaluation will result in a corresponding dollar amount that can be used towards the damages portion of the case.
