Plaintiff v. Defendant (Household Damages Proof)

The plaintiff sought compensation for household damages incurred following an accident, claiming a specific amount based on a period spanning over three years. The lower court dismissed the claim due to a lack of substantiation, and the appellate court upheld this decision, reasoning that to claim household damages, the injured party must first adequately assert and prove that they actually performed household work or would have done so absent the injury, which the plaintiff failed to do by only referencing generalized statistical data for a different household size, rather than providing concrete details about the work performed in his actual five-person household, which necessitated specific proof beyond the available statistical tables.
