Lost Earnings Expert Witnesses

Lost earning expert witnesses may have degrees in economics, accounting, public policy, business, vocational rehabilitation, and related fields. These experts may be used in litigation or other legal areas where the loss of earnings or loss of earning capacity may be considered an important element of damages. These experts may consider the plaintiff’s education, work experience, age/race/gender, physical limitations, rehabilitation potential, local and national economic conditions and the condition of specific industries. When the injured party is self-employed, the expert will generally analyze the future prospects of the business. Depending upon the circumstances, the expert witness may rely in part on the opinions of other experts such as physicians and vocational consultants for purposes of assessing damages.
