Summary of Sample Cases Tested

Applying the Smart Tables® Methodology

The Smart Tables® is an actuarial framework for loss of earnings due to personal injury or death, for common-law jurisdictions in the developing world.

This framework is expected to provide significant improvement in the calculation and assessment of damages for cases involving bodily injury and death.

In several developed countries, it is common for payments on disability or death to be determined by reference to actuarially based tables, such as the Ogden Tables in the UK.

The Smart Tables® is based on the principles behind the UK Ogden Tables, but use indigenous demographic and economic assumptions.
