34 the time of the facts, the victim was about 43 years old, which makes finding a different job difficult. 171. Based on the foregoing, the Court considers it a proven fact that Mr. Bueno-Alves tried to find a source of income, there being, however, no evidence of the results of his efforts. * * * 172. In the light of the above considerations, and since there is no proof of the income earned by Mr. Bueno-Alves prior to being tortured, considering the reference documents submitted to the Court regarding the average income earned in the construction sector (supra para. 149), taking into account his work disability, and considering that there is no certainty as to the earning of income from any alternative job, the Court has resorted to equity to hold that the State must pay the amount of US$ 100,000.00 (one hundred thousand United States dollars) to Mr. Bueno-Alves as compensation for the earnings lost as a consequence of the facts of the instant case. 173. Likewise, taking consideration of the fact that the Mr. Bueno-Alves’ disability is permanent, the Court has found it appropriate to set the amount of US$ 48,000.00 (fortyeight thousand United States dollars) as compensation for the loss of future earnings, based on a life expectancy of 70.04 years for Argentine men.89 c) “Physical damage” i) “Resulting disability” 174. According to the representative, the State must compensate the victim for “resulting disability” with US$ 1,568,969.60 (one million five hundred sixty-eight thousand nine hundred sixty-nine United States dollars and sixty cents). This amount “results from considering 10 (ten) percent of the amount claimed for loss of earnings.” In the representative’s opinion “[d]isability compensation seeks to cover not only the limitations to his work capacity, but also the impact disability has had on his entire personality, that is, his loss of self-confidence, the reduction of his vital capability […] and the impairment of his future prospects.” Furthermore, the representative pointed out that Mr. Bueno-Alves’ work disability caused “a strong impact on his family economy,” that Mr. Bueno-Alves’ children “had to drop out of school and get a job in order to earn an income to help support the home,” and that Mr. Bueno-Alves “still suffers from anxious-depressive syndrome.” 175. Some of the arguments submitted by the representative regarding the victim’s “resulting disability” were considered by the Court when analyzing his loss of earnings. The other arguments are related to the non-pecuniary damages caused to Mr. Bueno-Alves and his next of kin as a consequence of the facts described in the instant case. Therefore, this issue will be determined by the Court when analyzing compensation for non-pecuniary damages (infra paras. 198 to 207). ii) Medical, pharmaceutical, treatment and rehabilitation expenses 89 Cf.
