Practice question
Competent records establish the deceased’s age and annual income for an earning-capacity claim. A party calculates the award using all gross income without accounting for the legally relevant living expenses. What is the issue?
- There is none, gross always equals net
- Age can never matter
- Documents are prohibited
- Only funeral costs may ever be claimed
- The calculation must apply the governing net-capacity formula rather than equate gross receipts with net loss
