As far as "future earnings" go. It's not just working as a linesman that Comes into factor. He could have had a job lined up making big bucks for 25 more years and now he is unable to do it.
I don't know anything about the specifics of the case, so not advocating one way or the other, but the people saying he was retiring from being a linesman, it doesn't mean he was done working.
