Educational negligence claims arise where failures in schooling (unaddressed SEND needs, bullying, dyslexia support failures) cause measurable career and earnings loss. Employment loss experts construct a but-for career model showing what qualifications and career the claimant would have followed absent the negligence.
The earnings difference between the but-for trajectory and actual outcome is capitalised using Ogden Tables in the same way as personal injury loss of earnings. Comparative data on career outcomes for similarly situated individuals with appropriate support is essential.
Our experts combine vocational assessment with financial quantification to produce defensible career loss evidence for County Court and High Court educational negligence claims.
