A personal injury expert witness can play a crucial role in determining the damages associated with the personal injury claim. Economic analysis in personal injury matters can vary greatly depending on the severity of injury and the duration of its effects. Depending on the specifics of each case, a plaintiff may have past losses that resolve as their injury heals – or they may have life-long damages that extend into their retirement. An injury that interferes with a plaintiff’s employment can have a significant effect on their expected retirement income from pensions or Social Security, and can cause the loss of other benefits such as health insurance. A thorough analysis of the plaintiff’s expected earnings and benefits – both without injury and post-incident – is necessary to present a reliable estimation of the economic damages in each case. If a vocational expert has been retained, Econ One’s experts will translate their findings into an earnings stream that can be included in the evaluation of damages.

For injuries that require continuing treatment, Econ One’s economic experts and consultants can also provide clear and accurate calculations of the present value of ongoing medical expenses, translating the detailed plans provided by life care planners into present value terms that can be used by the parties in mediation, or presented to the jury at trial.

Econ One’s personal injury experts have the expertise necessary to provide a complete analysis of losses in injury cases, including experience with major private and public pension systems. Whether the injuries were obtained in a motor vehicle collision or in an accident on the job, precise calculations that can be clearly explained to a jury are the vital part of injury litigation that our experts can provide.
