Peggy Downing v. Shoreside Petroleum, Inc.

Summary

The Alaska Supreme Court affirmed the superior court’s award for lost future earning capacity after remand. It held that the superior court was not required to select an earning-capacity estimate offered by either side and did not clearly err by extrapolating future loss from the plaintiff’s documented post-accident earnings decline and by using a 6.3-year remaining work life. No separate opinions were filed.
