SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Wrongful death and personal injury actions; future wages presumption. Creates a rebuttable presumption in actions for the personal injury or wrongful death that a person who, at the time of the injury or death, was an infant or was at least 18 years of age but less than 24 years of age and was enrolled as a full-time student would have earned wages during his lifetime at the federal minimum wage rate in effect at the time the action was filed. Such wages shall be calculated based on 40 hours of work per week for the person starting from (i) age 19, if the person was an infant, or (ii) age 24, if the person was at least 18 years of age but less than 24 years of age and a full-time student, and continuing until the person would have been 62 years of age.
