Legal Definitions - expectancy table

An expectancy table, also known as an actuarial table, is a chart that shows statistical data about life expectancies for people in different categories. These categories can include age, family history, and exposure to certain chemicals or substances.

For example, an expectancy table might show that a person who is 65 years old has an average life expectancy of 20 more years. Or, it might show that a person with a family history of heart disease has a lower life expectancy than someone without that history.

Expectancy tables are often used by insurance companies and other organizations to help determine risk and make decisions about policies and benefits. They can also be used in legal cases to provide evidence about life expectancies.
