When you suffer a traumatic brain injury, one of the most immediate thoughts could be paying the bill that’s eventually going to come in the mail.  How are you going to pay it?  If you missed any time at work because of your traumatic brain injury, paying the medical bills become a little bit more difficult.  Our brain injury attorneys in San Diego can help you pay for your medical bills, but we can also give you a hand when it comes to getting your lost wages.

If you want to make a traumatic brain injury claim for your loss of earnings, you have to remember to keep track of two things: the amount of time you miss and how much money you would’ve made if you were working.

Pay stubs or employer documents are the best methods to do this accurately.  Loss of wages claims tend to need more documentation, but you can help by being prepared.  Our brain injury lawyers will take it from there.

You Can Still Recover Lost Earnings after Workers Compensation

Worker’s compensation usually covers just a portion of normal wages, but you can look to get the full value of lost earnings in your traumatic brain injury claim.  If you can’t earn a living permanently, we can file what is called a claim for loss of earning capacity.  Earning capacity is defined as the ability to work both prior to and after what caused your traumatic brain injury.  If your injury limits or eliminates your capacity, then you should be eligible to get compensation for diminished earning capacity.

We Seek Compensation for All Damages

Along with your lost wages, there may be emotional damages.  We can work to make sure you recover from all of your damages, both physical and emotional.  Our brain injury lawyers in San Diego will help you with any medical bills or pain and suffering on top of what you need to get in terms of your lost wages.
