Calculating Past, Present, Future Lost Wages and Loss of Earning Capacity

In a catastrophic injury case, the victim may never be able to hold a job again. Where the victim is an adult parent, children and other dependents are left without any meaningful source of support. The loss represents the entire earning capacity from the time of injury through his/her work life expectancy. This often amounts to over a million dollars even when reduced to present value.

In a case involving traumatic brain injury, earning capacity is also dramatically impaired. Where a victim of traumatic brain injury has incurred attention and concentration deficits, job performance is adversely affected or outright prohibited. Frequently, the victim will require complete vocational rehabilitation training. Obviously, chances for job advancement are greatly curtailed.
