Court accepted plaintiff's evidence that the deceased earned $2,400 per month and adopted the net-income-minus-personal-expenses (Gammell) approach rather than dependency-plus-notional-savings; applied multipliers of 17 (lost years) and 5 (dependency) to calculate pre- and post-assessment losses and dependency awards and entered judgment for the plaintiff in the total sum awarded with interest and costs.
