Sherrod v Berry, 629 F.Supp 159 (1985)

N/A

OUTCOME:

Landmark wrongful death case where I introduced the concept of, and coined the term, "hedonic damages". Hedonic damages compensate for the loss of a person's enjoyment and pleasure of life itself. This ... is the first case in the country where an economist's testimony was admitted into evidence as proof of the value of a decedent's expected life.
