OPINION AND ORDER: For the aforementioned reasons, the Court finds the government 100% liable. The Court finds that Mrs. Dershowitz would have made $225,000 per year, at a 3.47% growth rate, starting on January 1, 2012 and working until her healthy-life expectancy, or age 80.89; her business expenses would have totaled a flat rate of $22,500 per year; her social security and pension benefits would have run from her death to her life expectancy, with social security i ncreasing at a 2.49% growth rate and her pension benefits increasing annually by $214.85 starting five years from her date of retirement; her personal consumption rate would have been 20% of her total earnings, pension benefits, and social security benefits, continuing through her life expectancy; and the value of her household services should be calculated at 25 hours per week based on the Dollar Value A Day Study, from the date of her death to her healthy-life expectancy. The Court awards the cost of Mrs. Dershowitz's funeral and burial expenses, awards her children $25,000 each for lost guidance and support, and $300,000 for Mrs. Dershowitz's conscious pain and suffering. The parties are direc ted to compute the final award, broken down into past and future amounts (discounted to present value), and submit their final calculations to the Court within 14 days of this opinion.
