What is Chandler referring to when he demands payment for future lost business due to an injury caused by Harper?

  1. punitive damages

  2. diminution of value

  3. joint tortfeasors

  4. reservation of rights

The correct answer is: diminution of value

Chandler is referring to the concept of diminution of value, which is a measure of damages used in tort law. This refers to the reduction in the value of a property or item caused by an injury. Punitive damages, option A, are meant to punish the wrongdoer and are typically not awarded in cases like this. Joint tortfeasors, option C, refers to multiple people who are responsible for the harm caused and can be held jointly liable. And reservation of rights, option D, is a notice to an insurance company that they may not be obligated to provide coverage for a particular claim. In this scenario, Chandler is not referencing any of these concepts, making option B the correct answer.
