Features and Benefits

• Facilitates expert witnesses' ability to quash Daubert challenges. Favorably peer-reviewed in authoritative forums.

• Promotes objectivity, standardization, and systematic consideration of factors pertinent to the evaluation of loss of earning capacity claims.

• Can be used in forensic cases in which there are allegations of acquired disabling problems or related claims of loss of earning capacity. It can be particularly useful when loss of earning capacity is evident but difficult to quantify, such as with individuals injured at birth or early in their careers, those who have not realized their full earning capacity, those who may experience degenerative problems and/or other vocational handicaps, and those who lack a demonstrated earnings record.
