The authors prove several Bishop-Gromov type volume comparison theorems for distance wedges in globally hyperbolic space-times with Ricci curvature bounded below for timelike vectors. The volume of these wedges are compared to the volume of corresponding wedges in a Lorentzian space form. The proof uses comparison theorems for Riccati equations and, in this respect, it is somewhat similar to the proof of the Riemannian version, but technically it is more complicated.
