If you file a premises liability lawsuit against a property owner for negligence and you are successful by the end, you can recover damages based on what you experienced. After an accident, there are many instances where the victim must be hospitalized or treated for a certain period of time. This time to recover detracts from their usual time spent at work, meaning they lose normal wages. Luckily, “lost wages” is a type of damage that allows you to recover the money that you would have made at your job, had you not have had to stay home or in treatment to recover.

This can be more stressful as more time goes on that you are out of work. But our attorneys will ensure that you receive fair compensation for your missed time due to an accident that was out of your hands. You can claim past lost wages for time that you have already spent healing. You can also claim future lost wages, which are essentially the wages that you would have earned if this accident didn’t affect your work performance. It covers the amount that you would have made if you were in normal condition. Lost wages also can cover sick days, vacation days, commissions, and more. You simply have to provide proof of your wages from the past, such as pay stubs or W-2s.
