Future Loss Income for Disabled minor child:
The scenario is a minor child's brain injury and the claim for lost future earnings as a result of that disability. Evidence produced at trial first identified the injuries sustained. Subsequently an expert offered testimony of the probability that the child's future accomplishments would be limited by his disability resulting in a high school education and as a result limited earning capability. As compared to the probable accomplishments the child would have reached based upon his mother's educational background and the income he would have realized as a college graduate had he not encountered the disabilities. The expert testifyed that deficits will limit his ability to work in jobs suitable to the education he likely will be able to attain, thus resulting in his being a disabled worker.
In such instances the expert would be called upon to offer expert testimony about average earnings and a comparison of the amount of future earnings that minor child will not enjoy due to his disabilities.
