Damage Experts
Economic damages calculations are required whenever there is a plaintiff who has been negatively affected by a personal injury, wrongful death, breach of contract, or patent infringement among others. The amount of damages should compensate the harmed party by taking it back to his initial situation but for the misconduct of the offending counterpart. In order to calculate damages the expert considers economic factors such as future earnings and earnings growth, value of employment benefits, expected work life, discount factors to calculate present values of future investments, tax effects, lost household contribution and future consumption.
To perform damages calculations properly, the damages expert uses the plaintiff’s demographic and earnings data and identifies calculation inputs based on government statistics, economic studies, and market conditions.
Damage experts need the appropriate skills and knowledge to provide an appropriate calculation of damages. This involves the ability to manage complex data and the experience to interpret it.
