Expert Testimony

Expert testimony in wrongful death cases is mainly that of economists to ascertain the financial value of the victim to the family. This would include that of future income of students and younger people, as well as housewives. The monetary value of all of the services that the housewife (or domestic engineer), would include that of babysitting, maid service, cook, secretary, transportation specialist and more. This does not reflect a loss of income; it stresses the additional costs to continue all of the same services provided by the homemaker. Additional expert testimony is required in medical malpractice wrongful death cases.
