Description
This appeal and cross-appeal involve a wrongful death action brought on behalf of the estate and the children-statutory beneficiaries of a plane accident victim. The beneficiaries assert several specifications of error: (1) that the method used in calculating future earnings under Beaulieu v. Elliott, 434 P.2d 665 (Alaska 1967), was improper; (2) that beneficiaries of the decedents will not designated in the wrongful death statute should be able to recover prospective inheritance damages; (3) that a new trial should have been granted by the superior court; and (4) that attorneys fees were miscalculated. A cross-appeal was filed by ERA Jet Alaska ("ERA"), challenging the jurys award of damages for loss of prospective inheritance as well as the superior courts determination of attorneys fees.
