The court allowed the claim for future loss of earnings, ruling that such damages constitute property loss tied to the victim's lost potential. The plaintiff argued that their high professional qualifications and unique skills were severely diminished by the injury, preventing them from earning their previous income. The court held that these exceptional income streams, serving as the basis for the pension claim, must be effectively destroyed or significantly restricted by the health consequences to qualify as compensable property damage.
