1. Increased wages due to promotions;
2. Growth rates and inflation; and
3. Earning capacity.

These economists and accountants will have a significant amount of formal training and education, typically having an undergraduate and an advanced or post-graduate degree.

In a personal injury case, non-economic damages, like pain and suffering, are often heavily focused on by both the plaintiff and defense attorneys. It is very difficult for juries to place a finite value of compensation for pain and suffering and they may ultimately base their decided value on the assessed economic damages. Therefore, it is crucial that economic damages are properly evaluated and quantified.

Economic experts help to properly assess economic damages and strengthen a case in several ways. These include:

1. Determining what losses are recoverable;
2. Consulting in discovery; and
3. Eliminating calculation issues.

The economic experts can assist in deeming what economic losses are recoverable by analyzing the plaintiff’s past income tax returns to see how income has been affected following the injury. This can become increasingly complicated if the plaintiff does not receive a set salary or is self-employed because the plaintiff’s income can vary, thus increasing need for an economic expert with specialized knowledge.

Economic experts can also provide guidance in the discovery stage to prepare compelling documents to properly show the extent of economic damages. These documents typically include Social Security Earnings Records, income tax records and documentation of future work benefits. The economic expert can also obtain more in-depth information if the plaintiff is a business owner.

The economic experts will also base their calculations of damages on accurate data and information. This will eliminate many of the issues that can arise by ensuring that the calculation relies on accurate and applicable data found by an experienced professional. The economic expert’s calculations are extremely influential in helping the plaintiff receive the best compensation possible.
