Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
This article addresses issues arising within the evolving practice of the use of expert witnesses in wrongful death cases. It begins with a sketch of the currently extant variety of wrongful death statutes. Next, it characterizes the types of expert witness testimony that have been standardly recognized in such cases. It then outlines and critically assesses an attempt by an economist to enter testimony seemingly beyond legitimate bounds. Finally, it raises and addresses a range of issues related to damage awards in wrongful death cases and the legitimacy and limitations of expert witness testimony. |
