San Diego Personal Injury Claims & Compensation

Lost Wages / Loss of Earnings

One of the most important issues to consider in regard to your San Diego personal injury claim will be: what is my case worth? Determining the fair value of your claim will be crucial if you are to have the opportunity to recover the financial compensation that will enable you to rebuild your life and move on. Lost wages may make up a primary part of your settlement or jury award.

When a person is involved in car accident, seriously injured by a defective product or harmed due to medical malpractice, he or she may not only face exorbitant medical expenses but may be left dealing with financial difficulties caused by a loss of earnings. The victim may miss work for a week, a day or for months. The victim may need to miss work in the future due to medical appointments and physical therapy. In some cases, an injured party may be unable to return to work in the same field, resulting in significantly less income. The victim may even be unable to return to work at all, resulting in a complete loss of income.

What lost wages may be covered by my injury claim?

Every case is different, and as such we strive to conduct a complete analysis of each client's financial losses to determine the value of his or her claim. In determining the value of lost wages, we will look at your income prior to your injuries, the amount of work you have missed and the amount of work you may be expected to miss in the future. We may work with economists who can not only help us determine your claim value but who can act as expert witnesses on the stand to explain the full extent of your losses to the judge and jury. Some of the factors that will influence the amount of financial compensation for lost wages that you may be entitled to may include:

• Your income prior to the incident
• The amount of time you missed while receiving medical care and recovering
• The amount of time you may be expected to miss in the future as a result of your injury
• The impact your injury will have on your ability to work in the same field or at the same position
• The impact your injury may have on your ability to return to work at all
• Your projected income weeks, months, years and even decades into the future
