Economic Damages in Personal Injury and Wrongful Death Actions 2025

Damages deconstructed

When a client suffers a catastrophic injury or a family faces wrongful death, the outcome of litigation often hinges on one factor: how economic damages are calculated. Judges and juries look for clear and credible proof of financial loss, yet valuation can involve complex questions of earnings capacity, medical expenses, household services, and tax consequences. Attorneys who lack skills and tactics for proving damages risk leaving significant recovery on the table.

The economics of loss

Economic Damages in Personal Injury and Wrongful Death Actions gives you a comprehensive, Wisconsin-specific guide to measuring and proving loss. You’ll review categories of recoverable damages, explore valuation techniques, and sharpen your ability to present persuasive, admissible testimony.
