Life expectancy determination.

Abstract

The estimate of life expectancy following a personal injury is probably one of the most important factors in determining the final quantum of damages. It is a calculation fraught with difficulties. This article endeavours to outline some general factors that aid prediction of life expectancy, and also discusses the evidence from the few long-term studies currently available.
