Lost Wages Evidence
The Evidence You Must Present When Suing For Lost Wages
A serious injury can lead to you losing the wages you would normally receive. If you were injured and would like to file a lawsuit, you should include the wages you have lost within that claim.
Going over the evidence you must present when suing for lost wages, and speaking with a Redding, CA, personal injury attorney at Maire & Deedon will help you obtain the wages you are owed.
What Are Lost Wages?
The definition of “lost wages” is as follows: any income you would have earned if you were not injured. One example of lost wages is as follows: if you earn $500 per week and miss one week, you have lost $500.
You can obtain the lost wages you are owed by filing a personal injury lawsuit. Doing so will also help you get other damages, all of which will make it easier for you to recover from your injury.
What Is The Evidence You Must Present When Suing For Lost Wages?
To obtain the lost wages you are owed, you must present the proper evidence. And this proper evidence is, in most cases, as follows:
- Your medical documentation including a detailed overview of every single one of your injuries.
- Your pay stubs from the period before the injury and, in turn, from the period after the injury.
- Your tax returns so that the other party’s insurance can get a sense of how much you were earning.
- Your work schedule shows just how many days of work you missed, among other things.
Outside of the evidence outlined above, you will need to present evidence demonstrating that the negligent party you are suing did, in fact, cause the injury you sustained.
How Can A Personal Injury Attorney Help You?
A personal injury attorney can help you by clarifying all of the evidence you must obtain. Your personal injury attorney may even be able to help you gather all of this evidence.
All of this evidence will be turned into a larger list of demands. These demands will be supported by the evidence you provide – evidence of the wages you lost as well as the injuries you sustained.
To ensure that you obtain the wages you are owed, a personal injury attorney will help you present all of your demands. Doing so will allow those involved to understand why you are owed the wages you lost.
Before you can proceed with the above, you will need to file a lawsuit. Or, if you choose not to go that route, you will need to file a personal injury claim.
Filing a lawsuit is difficult. And so is filing a personal injury claim. By working with an attorney, it will be much easier for you to do either one, which will help you obtain the wages you are owed.
The process outlined above may vary, depending on the facts of your case. But, regardless of what form this process takes, you will have a much easier time obtaining the wages you are owed if you work with an attorney.
