Summary
The final totals are calculated and adjustments are applied
by using 'Sum up Award'. This process calculates
- A Simple Award composed of one or more of the three categories of Pain and
Suffering, Medical Expense and Economic Loss. If there is more than one
element in a category, the amounts are totaled, a weighted average payment
period, first payment and COLA are calculated. The Award is then totaled.
- A detailed Award is also totaled.
- Collateral Source offsets and past damages are allocated and totaled.
