Wrongful Incarceration

The expert economists of the Sobel Tinari Economics Group have evaluated economic damages for individuals who have been wrongfully incarcerated.  These damages include lost earnings, as well as the loss of earning potential resulting from lost educational and career opportunities. Damages may also consist of lost fringe benefits and future medical costs (e.g., for ongoing therapy) and, in some cases, lost services to plaintiff’s family members.

STEG economists present a thorough assessment of the economic consequences of each case. We work closely with attorneys and their clients to obtain the necessary information and data required for the proper calculation of economic damages. We also apply our accumulated knowledge of relevant statutes and case law in determining appropriate elements of damages that may be claimed. Because of the deep knowledge and broad experience of our testifying experts, STEG has excellent command of the many substantive issues that may arise in the course of an engagement, including expert testimony, if needed.
