Life expectancy determination: P. Vachon and F. Sestier
Life expectancy is defined as the expected number of years left to be lived for a given person or group of people. Determining life expectancy (ie, estimating the remaining lifespan of an individual) is sometimes necessary to properly adjudicate a legal dispute. The question of life expectancy often arises when there is a need to quantify periodic payments for damages over the rest of the life of an injured or aggrieved party or when the valuation of a pension or lifelong annuity is in question (in a case of divorce, for instance). When such a case arises, the life expectancy expert will be required to perform the calculations. The expert will need to synthetize pertinent medical information and reach an opinion grounded in scientific principles and a fair application to the facts at hand. These calculations should then be presented in a clear and precise manner.
