Personal Injury Many personal injury cases result in catastrophic or serious claims that compromise a persons ability to continue to participate in the labor market at the same level they were capable of prior to injury. Many of the same vocational issues are present in these cases that are present in other cases.
Other than the setting, the principle difference between personal injury and other settings, is the level of scrutiny these cases are subjected to in terms of vocational expert testimony. Additionally, these cases frequently consider the long term implications and lost earning potential or diminished earning capacity over a persons lifetime as a factor in determining economic damages. |
