The primary focus of Assessing Damages in Injuries and Deaths of Minor Children is to consider a wide range of topics on assessing damages or providing testimony in cases involving injuries or deaths of minor children. Written with the forensic economic expert or attorneys specifically concerned with damages in mind, this book goes in to depth on every approach to assessing damages in these cases. You will learn how to assess damages using the parental investment approach, how to determine future earning capacity from the educational outcomes of the parents, and other ways of projecting future earning capacity. You will read about the issues of wrongful birth and wrongful pregnancy. You will also find out how to factor child support paid after a divorce into a damages assessment. Learn about the fundamental damages problem in the death of a minor child, which is that parents have losses of enormous value but standards for financial damages recovery tend to be very small.

Childhood injuries occur with car seats, furniture, toys, playground equipment and more. Many factors influence children’s injuries and many children's injuries are preventable. Case examples and news stories illustrate the unnoticed hazards throughout a home, school, or other parts of a child's daily routine, and how those hazards cause injury. You’ll learn about attending to potential hazards. You'll learn about the standards for labeling products, installing equipment, self-regulation and government regulation in standards and agencies that set standards to protect children. You'll be shown the pertinent laws and case studies that deal with the issues presented in this book.
