I receive several communications each week either by telephone calls or e-mails from people inquiring about the difference between lost wage claims and loss of future earnings arising out of injury in a Maryland personal injury case.
Lost wages from the date of the accident to the date of trial or to the date that you return to work, even if in some modified capacity, represent your claim for lost wages.
Future loss earnings represents the lost income you can expect from the date of trial forward into your future. Proof of future loss earnings typically requires a doctor who is familiar with your work requirements and your physical limitations as a result of your injury caused by the accident to testify within a reasonable degree of medical probability that you cannot return back to your prior employment. Coupled with that you will need a vocational rehabilitation expert, or someone of like credentials, to tell us what your post accident physical capabilities are and what job markets exist for people with your capabilities. Finally, you will need an economist to calculate the total amount of your future loss earnings. They will then have to reduce those future loss earnings to a present value. The only other piece of evidence you will need to prove future loss earnings will be the work life expectancy calculations which will be provided by the economist.
If you have any questions on these issues or any other issues affecting Maryland personal injury please feel free to call me at 1-888-760-7339.
