AP-LS NEWS, Winter 2000 Page 5 EXPERT OPINION Opposing Views: The Appropriateness of Expert Testimony Regarding Hedonic Damages

An area of forensic practice that seems to invoke sharply differing views is the role psychologists might appropriately play in the assessment of hedonic damages, or “loss of pleasure of life,” in personal injury litigation. How efficacious is it to set forth to evaluate the degree of pleasure of life that existed before the incident, the degree that exists following the incident, and the percentage of any lost pleasure that was lost as a result of the incident? Further, can we reasonably estimate how long such hedonic damage might be expected to last, and what the cost of recovery of it might be? Two distinguished colleagues, Chuck Stanley and Paul Lees-Haley, commented on this issue.
