Recovering lost wages following an accident that left you unable to work can be tricky. Any attorney you hire will try to file a lost wage claim alongside your injury claims. With losing wages or even losing your job after a car accident, you deserve to have compensation sent to you to make up for the money you lost out on due to someone else’s negligence.
While lost wages are one of the more common types of damages you see following a car wreck, this is something that should not be overlooked with little attention to detail. The complex situation involving a car accident claim is more than enough to make someone want to pull their hair out.
The problem with lost wages is it does not just go into what you lost on the days you missed work. It considers the future days you will have to miss regarding your injuries as well. Should you require surgery for your injuries, it will take into consideration your recovery time before you were able to return to work. Quality Dallas car accident lawyers will take all aspects of lost wages into account when listing this type of damage.
Other types of lost wages you cannot forget about are missed bonuses and commissions, diminished or lost earning capacity, and even lasting impairments which require you to quit working altogether. These are all important to take into consideration and our expert attorneys at Angel Reyes & Associatese will be sure you get what you truly deserve for losing out on these financial opportunities.
What if You Have to Take a Different Job After an Accident?
If your surgery you require forces you to have to take a job in a different field, you deserve to have compensation for the difference in pay between your previous job and your new job that forces you to take less pay due to your inability to do the capacity of work you previously did. While this may seem incredibly hard to handle, diminished pay is not the least of your worries. Suffering injuries that require you to quit altogether allows you to be eligible for compensation due to total loss of ability to earn a wage.
Severe injuries effect everyone differently. When you suffer from severe injuries that prohibit you from working entirely, you deserve to have the negligent party come to the table to offer compensation to allow you to live a somewhat normal life. Traumatic brain injuries that prevent people from working are profoundly serious matters.
