Wrongful Death

An Outline of Required Information

Experience

Raffa Consulting Economists has been evaluating wrongful death claims since 1971.  This analysis includes a present value assessment, where appropriate, of the loss of earnings (from date of injury to date of death); the loss of monetary or financial support to the survivors; the loss of the decedent's services to survivors; and if identified statutorily, the loss of inheritance or the loss of net accumulations to the estate of the decedent.

Methodology

Raffa Consulting Economists historical earnings data bases are used to establish earnings growth rates with which to project the future earnings of the decedent and to estimate replacement wage rates for the loss of services evaluation.  Data compiled from the U.S. Department of Labor's Consumer Expenditures Survey are utilized to allocate the projected earnings of the decedent between the claims of the survivors and the personal consumption expenditures of the decedent.  Present values calculations are made using interest rates reflecting a twelve-month moving average yield on long-term U.S. Treasury Bonds.
