Recovering Lost Wages
In most circumstances, people work because they need the income to survive. However, when an injury inhibits this ability to make a living, devastation can ensue. Rest assured, we will fight to recover any lost wages.
Placing value on lost wages involves carefully gathering data on earnings and educational history. Future earnings potential must also be determined, taking into consideration work life expectancy, increases in the cost of living and all potential benefits.
Please note, in New York, car and truck accident victims may only seek a limited amount of lost wages and medical bills unless they can prove that their claim falls with one of seven categories recognized by state law. In some instances, additional damages may be obtained through the responsible parties' personal injury protection (PIP) policy.
Seeking Compensation for Lost Services
When a spouse or parent is injured in an accident, he or she may be unable to perform necessary homemaking duties. He or she may have been responsible for household chores, cooking, or childcare. It may be possible to seek compensation for the loss of these services from the party who is responsible for the accident.
