Recovery of Lost Wages

    When a person is injured in an accident the recovery period is often a stressful and emotional time period.  If the injured person is forced to missed work due to the injuries, that person's financial stability may be put in jeopardy.  However, a personal injury claim can compensate the injured person for all types of damages, including lost wages as a result of the injuries sustained in the accident.

    Lost wages as a result of missed work due to injuries are recoverable in a personal injury claim. In cases with long-term or permanent injuries, the lost wages may be the greatest loss suffered by the injured person.

    In order to make a lost wage claim, it is important to have the documents that substantiate the claim.  Doctor's notes indicating the injured person can't work along with records from the injured person's employer are key to presenting a solid lost wage claim.  The lost wage claim can include not only regular pay but also overtime pay, bonuses, raises, and/or missed opportunities for potential promotions or commissions.

    In situations where the injured person is severely and permanently disabled, an injured person may never work again. These situations involve lost earning capacity and lost future wages. In these cases, it is necessary to hire an expert to give an opinion on the injured person's earning capacity had he/she not been injured.
