Spears v. City of Scott11/2/2005
resulted in a loss of approximately $3.40 to $4.75 per hour loss of earning potential. Doug Womack, an economics expert, testified that Ms. Spears's loss of future earning capacity, based on her work life expectancy and discounted to today's value, is $125,518.00 ($3.40 per hour loss) to $175,356.00 ($4.75 per hour loss). We award Ms. Spears $125,518.00 for loss of future earning capacity.
Disposition
