Recovering Lost Wages
The financial impact of a serious injury or the unexpected loss of a wife, mother, husband, or father can overwhelm a family. A household that survived on two incomes is suddenly faced with limited resources. The impact of lost wages can threaten the very stability of the family.
It is difficult to put a monetary value on a life or a person's potential. As part of our representation, attorneys at our firm work closely with economists to quantify the value of lost wages.
Valuing lost wages involves gathering data on the accident victim's earnings and educational history. The potential for future earnings is carefully determined, taking into consideration work life expectancy, increases in cost of living and possible fringe benefits. Once an amount is determined, legal proceedings can move forward.
Recapturing Lost Services
When a spouse or parent is injured or passes away, a family must deal with not only grief and loss of income, but with the loss of his or her services. A spouse or parent may have been responsible for household chores, cooking, child transportation and other necessary homemaking skills. The loss of these services has value, as anyone knows if one has attempted to hire someone for these tasks. The parties responsible for the accident can be held financially accountable.
Understanding True Value
At The Heller Law Firm, we work to make certain we understand what a person's true contribution to a family was. To discuss how we may be able to help, please call 866-461-5791 or contact us on-line.
