Loss of Household Services Process

Engagement process

1. Engagement and records review: We confirm scope and conflicts, establish the retainer, and review records describing the household and the injury's functional impact.
2. Household activity interview: When appropriate, we interview the individual and family to document the pre-injury division of household labor and current limitations.
3. Task and hour quantification: We quantify the household tasks affected and the hours typically devoted to each, using recognized household production frameworks.
4. Replacement-cost valuation: We apply replacement-cost wage data for the relevant tasks and geographic area.
5. Report: We document the methodology and findings in a written report, coordinating present-value calculation with a forensic economist when required.
6. Testimony: We provide deposition and trial testimony as needed.
