Understanding Pension Loss

When it comes to Pension Loss Claims, it is your responsibility as a litigator to help your Client receive what they would have been entitled to at the point of retirement, were it not for their injury. Yes, a calculator can spit out some basic numbers but it lacks the comprehensive analysis of an Expert Witness that is so crucial in understanding the impact of injury on lifelong income.
