This article provides summary and analysis of case law and relevant statutes in Mississippi since 2004 that are important for the forensic economist to consider in the calculation of economic damages in wrongful death and personal injury matters. Particular attention is devoted to Rebelwood Apartments RP, LP v. English (2010), which provided specific guidance to the forensic economist in Mississippi on several fronts and explicitly tasks the economic expert with rooting analysis in sufficient facts and evidence.
