What a Lost-Wages Claim After a Georgia Truck Crash Covers<\/h2>\n

Lost wages are the pay you missed because of the crash. Lost earning capacity is the drop in your ability to earn money later on. Both are economic damages, which means they carry a dollar value you can count.<\/p>\n

General damages are presumed to flow from the wrong, so they need no proof of an exact amount. Special damages actually flow from the act<\/a> and must be proved (O.C.G.A. \u00a7 51-12-2<\/a>). Lost pay is the kind of loss you prove with records.<\/p>\n

Lost-income damages sit next to medical bills and pain and suffering. They do not replace those losses. Each part adds to your total claim.<\/p>\n

This page is for injured workers, self-employed drivers and others whose paychecks stopped or shrank after a semi-truck, 18-wheeler or other commercial truck crash. If you’re off work now, our team is ready to talk. You can request a free consultation<\/a> on our contact page.<\/p>\n

Which Lost-Income Losses You Can Include<\/h2>\n

Start with the pay you missed, then add the other money you lost. Keep a running list of each item.<\/p>\n
