If someone’s negligence caused you to miss work or compromised your future earning capacity, you're generally entitled to compensation for these losses.
Victims can seek lost income in all kinds of injury cases, including motor vehicle crashes, truck collisions, construction site incidents, or any other personal injury claim.
What Does Lost Income Include?
Lost income in a personal injury claim may include:
- Compensation for time off work due to the injury
- Vacation or sick time spent on recovery, as well as paid time off that didn't accrue while you were out of work
- Overtime payments that you were unable to earn due to the injury
- Bonuses or commissions that you were unable to receive
- Missed opportunities for raises or promotions due to injury
- Income from secondary sources, such as paid hobbies or freelance work, you were unable to earn because you were injured
- Lost ability to earn a living in the future due to limitations, work restrictions, or permanent disability
