On
the Lighter Side

The Importance
of Lost Earnings Calculations
After someone is injured, becomes ill, or loses their life in an
accident, litigation often follows. Once liability is established, lost
earnings is a key component of the injured party’s damage claim. Recently,
former Flyers trainers filed suit, alleging chemicals used in the operation of
the Zamboni
caused their illnesses. In Florida, the parents of a teen who died after
falling from an amusement
park ride this spring have filed suit.
If you are representing a client in this sort of
litigation, or your client is facing damages that include a lost earnings
claim, Asterion’s professionals can prepare or review the calculations and
guide you to the appropriate damages amount under the assumption of liability.
