Heading: Duplicate Recovery

Text: The appellees also assert that the threat of duplicative damages is a reality because, they contend, the appellants' theory is that loss-of-life damages include the value of future lost earnings in addition to non-pecuniary loss. The appellees point out that future lost earnings are specifically recoverable by statutory beneficiaries under the Arkansas Wrongful Death Statute, Ark.Code Ann. § 16-62-102 (Supp.2003). However, the appellants have argued that they are making no wrongful death claim for pecuniary damages in this case and, therefore, there can be no double recovery for those damages. Again, without a ruling or order squarely before us, this issue is not ripe for consideration at this time. Reversed and remanded.
