Tax Credit
Possible financial loss or expenses claimed by a plaintiff (person filing a lawsuit) which are contingent upon a future occurrence, purely conjectural or highly improbable. speculative damages should not be awarded, and jury instructions should so state. examples: a) plaintiff believes that ten years hence, as he ages, he may begin to feel pain from a healed fracture although no physician has testified that this is likely to happen; b) plaintiff claims that defendant’s failure to deliver products for sale may hurt plaintiff’s reputation with future customers.
