Fla. Std. Jury Instr. (Civ.) 418.15
REDUCTION OF DAMAGES TO PRESENT VALUE
Any amount of damages which you allow for wages and benefits to be lost in the future should be reduced to its present money value, and only the present money value of those future economic damages should be included in your verdict.
The present money value of future economic damages is the sum of money needed now which, together with what that sum will earn in the future, will compensate (claimant) for these losses as they are actually experienced in future years.
