Frequently asked questions
- What makes employment economic damages different from personal injury?
- Employment cases use past loss of earnings and future loss of earnings frameworks with explicit duty to mitigate rather than but-for injury earnings paths. Reinstatement may eliminate future loss of earnings. Statutory caps and equitable remedies differ from tort damages. The economist applies employment damages methodology, not personal injury wage loss models.
- Can an economist opine on whether termination was wrongful?
- No. The economist quantifies economic loss assuming liability or for damages-phase proceedings. Causation of termination is a legal and factual question for the trier of fact, not the economist.
