Calculation of Present Value
For either medical or vocational damages it is necessary to calculate damages in future dollars and then discount these future damages to present value as of the time of trial. RPC has expert economists who are able to bring all damages calculations to present value. We compute different inflation rates for specific goods, services and wages. Our procedures ensure consistency between the inflation and discount rates used. The time series data used in these calculations of damages are continuously updated as government agencies publish new statistics. We also take the particular facts of each case into consideration to ensure the most accurate data and practices are used in our calculations.

These decisions have also clarified a defendant’s right to reasonable discovery from a plaintiff’s medical providers to determine the damages for medical expenses. In this blog, we review what this means for plaintiff and defense attorneys.
