Loss of Earnings Claims

Loss of earnings claims

When you are involved in an accident, you may find that you are unable to work. This will add further stress to an already painful situation for you and your loved ones. Loss of earnings can be claimed for when you have been absent from your work as a result of an accident that wasn’t your fault.

You may be able to work after your accident, but perhaps you can only work shorter shifts as a result of your injuries. This would mean that you would be receiving less pay than you would normally receive, and you can claim for this difference in earnings, too.

The suffering you experience as a result of an accident can be a frustrating and painful time for you and your loved ones. The injuries you sustain can range from minor to life-changing, and you may require physiotherapy and even surgery as part of your recovery.

If your circumstances surrounding work have changed as a result of an accident that wasn’t your fault, it is important that you are compensated accordingly. Our team at Watermans can help you by recovering those lost earnings on your behalf.

It is important to seek loss of earnings compensation from the at-fault party in the case of an accident, as some employers like the NHS and the Council have a right to seek a repayment of wages from you at a later stage. Many people are not aware that this is in their contract of employment. As your solicitors, Watermans can check where you stand in this situation, and if you have a duty to repay the amounts that you received during your absence from work.
