I 1975 års skadeståndslag införde man begreppet ekonomisk invaliditet. Syftet med förändringen var att ersättning i personskadeärenden skulle bestämmas så exakt som möjligt. Skadestånd för framtida inkomstförlust skulle inte längre uppskattas efter en schablon utan den skulle beräknas för att motsvara den verkliga förlusten. Skadelidande skulle få full kompensation för sin ekonomiska förlust utan In 1975 the concept of economic invalidity was introduced in tort law. The purpose of the change was to determine the compensation in personal injury cases as accurately as possible. Damages for future loss of income would no longer be appreciated after a lump but it would be calculated to be equal to the actual loss. Injured parties would receive full compensation for their financial loss without
