It is a common misconception that the purpose of a personal injury case is only to try to collect damages to cover medical expenditures associated with the injury itself. But damages can go far beyond simple medical bill repayment.
Damages can be sought in the form of rehabilitation, mental injury, emotional injury and more. One common form of damages that is sought by personal injury victims is repayment for lost wages. To find out more about regaining lost wages after an injury caused by another’s negligence, contact the St. Petersburg personal injury lawyers of Beltz & Ruth, P.A., by calling 1-800-931-4369.
If your injury made it impossible for you to work, you are faced with a situation in which you not only are suffering mentally and physically from your injury but are also unable to financially provide for yourself and your family.
You have every right to try to regain some or all of the income you would have been receiving prior to your injury. But proving lost wages is not a piece of cake. You must be vigilant about providing the proper documentation and employer validation. Before you present a case for lost wages, you must:
- Have a doctor’s note that you are indeed unable to work in your current condition
- Pay stubs to verify the amount of compensation you were earning
- Have your employer’s agreement about your inability to work
