Questão jurídica principal
Whether the claimant could recover additional loss of earnings
Decisão extraída
No additional loss of earnings was awarded, because the claimant's future salaried income exceeded the proven pre-accident income from self-employment.
Fundamentação extraída
The court required a concrete comparison with the claimant's actual pre-accident earning situation and found no reasonable basis to assume a much higher hypothetical income as an independent translator-interpreter.
