Issues to consider when reviewing costs of care claims
As a litigation accountant, one may review and quantify several life care plans each week, both for plaintiff and defense counsel.  On occasion, comparisons between reports are completed, using a ‘compare and contrast’ or ‘exception’ approach.  The calculations may appear simple; present valuing the costs using actuarial estimates, taking into account discount rates, mortality and inflation.  However, there are many issues to consider when reviewing these costs of care reports.  It is prudent to see the overall conceptual issues, rather than merely inputting the individual values.

An economic analysis of damages in fatal accident claims
<strong>Surviving dependent's financial perspective.</strong><br /> The basis of any damages calculation is to restore a plaintiff to the same financial position in which he or she would have been had the wrongful act not occurred. In other words, in the case of a wrongful death claim, the objective is to allow the deceased’s dependents to enjoy the same quality of life, from a financial perspective, as they would have enjoyed had the deceased lived. The award is thus meant to reflect the portion of the deceased’s earnings that would have gone towards the financial support of the dependents.

Advisory Succession and estate planning Farming and agriculture
Why Plan for Farm Succession?
<p class="p1">Despite farm groups working hard to advise farm owners of the need to plan for their eventual succession, many farmers appear to be reluctant to plan properly. Though there are many reasons, studies show that the number one reason is that it is “too early” to begin planning. But is it really too early, or is there just an unwillingness to plan for succession?
