KW Economics prepares economic damages analyses for wrongful termination cases venued in Georgia: the components the loss claim consists of, the records that drive them, and a present value built to Georgia's damages rules and venues. Plaintiff and defense.

Georgia trial courts act as gatekeepers in civil cases and ask whether the economist is qualified by training and experience, whether the method has been tested and accepted in the profession, and whether it was applied reliably to the facts. An economic damages report meets that inquiry by stating its assumptions and naming the data series behind each one.
Highest court: Supreme Court of Georgia. Federal venues: N.D. Ga., M.D. Ga., S.D. Ga. Court system: gasupreme.us.
Georgia reduces a negligence-based award by the plaintiff's share of fault and bars recovery once that share reaches half. Interest on a liquidated sum runs from the date it became due, and prejudgment interest on unliquidated tort damages is tied to a written demand procedure. Economic damages are not subject to a general statutory limit, so the report states each loss as of a fixed date and separates the sums that were due from the amounts that had to be projected.
The same four steps apply to a wrongful termination case venued in Georgia; the damages framework above decides which components enter the total.
