As a Canadian, I usually use the US DoT numbers (in the same ballpark as what you said) for my mental maths. A couple extra things to consider:
- what’s the date on these figures?
- can we extrapolate this to other countries?
- are these figures generally accepted, or are they controversial?
- how do you account for age, sex (differences in life expectancy, child bearing capacity, etc), education level or professional skill, etc?
- novok 5y agoIronically enough, I think the data set comes from lawsuits that determine all of those conditions. A surgeon for example with all of their future surgeon income ruined by a bad car accident + medical care can be around $30 million, while someone who is relatively old with no chances of future income + medical care would typically get less AFAIK. It probably averages out to that $7-10 million figure.
