Attorney's fees may also count toward the jurisdictional minimum, but only when those fees are authorized by statute, contract, or as some other matter of right. See Rasmussen v. State Farm Mut. Auto. Ins. Co., 410 F.3d 1029, 1030 (8th Cir. 2005); see also Mueller v. RadioShack Corp., No. 11-cv-0653, 2011 WL 6826421, at *1-2 & n.4 (D. Minn. Dec. 28, 2011). Ernst has not demonstrated how the damages alleged in the Complaint might actually amount to $75,000 or more. Ernst's claim for $50,000 in actual damages is unfounded. Ernst seeks $4,000 in lost wages from Geico due to his November 2011 accident.
