LOSS OF EARNING CAPACITY AFTER AN OFFSHORE ACCIDENT
A worker can receive financial benefits that compensate for their lost earning capacity. Factors used to determine what an individual could have earned prior to their injury include:
- Age
- habits
- health
- education
- training
- skills
Proving loss of earning capacity in a personal injury case is difficult. Therefore, it is essential to enlist the help of an attorney.
An attorney can collect testimonies from experts and get the most benefits possible. A physician must testify that an injury’s symptoms will persist into the future. Another expert needed may be a vocational specialist. A vocational expert will be able to determine an injury’s effect on employment. Finally, a forensic economist can determine the amount of financial loss due to an injury.
