Summing up all the expenses incurred for hospitalization (including the initial bill and the follow -up care) will give us an answer of $168,000. Then the amount that could have been earned by working for 2 years is calculated below.
(52 1/7 weeks / year)($1,050 / week)( 2 years) = $109,500
Adding this to the initial sum calculated.
total = ($109,500) + ($168,000) = $277,500
