		When considering the toll that defective pharmaceuticals may take on a client’s life, it is important to keep in mind life expectancy and the future of a person’s working career. For instance, a person who survives a myocardial infarction (heart attack) and successfully completes standard therapy still has a life expectancy reduced by 33%, according to Prof. Karl W. Lauderbach at the University of Cologne’s Institute of Health Economics.^* Such a shortened life would typically cut short a person’s working career.
	Bear in mind that many professionals would be earning considerably more toward the latter stages of their careers. A shortened life expectancy represents vocational damages requiring full and fair compensation. Using expert statistical analysis, Expert Assessments, LLC can produce exhibits answering questions such as “What is the new life expectancy?”, “What is the likelihood that a weakened health condition would affect future income?”, and “How much was this person likely to be earning in years to come?”
