What is the range of damages for loss of future income for an infant who lost a leg as a result of birth defects?

The defendant’s counsel submits that it would be pure speculation to make such an award. He submits that this is not a case like Arnold v. Teno where there was no doubt that the infant plaintiff would never be able to work. He submits that it would not be logical to award any amount for loss of income. He says that a child of this age, with this disability, is more likely to work to overcome that disability and, therefore, is more likely to become a dedicated and stable employee and is just as likely to earn more than she might have had she not lost a leg. On that basis, he submits, no amount for loss of future income can be calculated, particularly as there is no evidence upon which to do so.
