Hi, I’m attorney Scott Wright. You’ve been injured in an accident, but you’ve been able to return to work. You’re concerned though that you may not be able to continue, and you wonder whether or not that will affect your case. Generally speaking, the return to work is a positive thing. Your doctor will, if at all possible, encourage you to do so. If the effort proves unsuccessful, that in no way reduces or diminishes your claim. You’re still entitled to recover any wage loss that you experienced as a result of the injuries from your accident regardless of whether your attempt to return to work was unsuccessful. If you’d like to discuss your case in more detail, feel free to give me a call. You can reach me 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at 321-723-1997. I look forward to speaking with you.

Hi, I’m attorney Scott Wright. Clients who’ve been injured in an accidentoften as me how we’ll go about proving their wage loss claim. It’s basically two steps. The first step is to receive from the client’s treating physician an opinion usually in the form of a disability statement that as a result of accident-related injuries, the client will be unable to return to work and how long the doctor thinks the client will be out of work. The second thing that’s necessary is proof of earnings. This can be a W-2, an earnings statement, 1099, anything from the employer that demonstrates the client’s typical earnings during a period that’s at least 13 weeks before the date of the accident. The loss then is simply the earnings lost during the period of disability. If you’d like to discuss your wage loss claim, feel free to give me a call. You can reach me 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at 321-723-1997. I look forward to speaking with you.

Hi, I’m attorney Scott Wright. Clients who’ve been involved in an accident and suffered a wage loss often ask me how we go about proving or establishing their wage loss. The simplest way of course is pay stubs for a three to six month period before the date of accident. Sometimes those aren’t available, and we have to look to alternatives. W-2s or 1099s can be helpful. Tax returns can also be helpful. But in the absence of those things, a simple statement in the form of a letter from the client’s employer can be helpful. It doesn’t have to be ironclad evidence of earnings, but something that’s reasonable and reliable. If you’d like to discuss the proof of your wage loss claim, please feel free to give me a call. You can reach me 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at 321-723-1997. I look forward to speaking with you.

Hi, I’m attorney Scott Wright. You’ve been injured in an accident, and as a result, you’re unable to work. Not only are you experiencing a wage loss, but you’ve also lost certain benefits. You’ve had to use up your sick leave. Perhaps you’ve used up your vacation leave. Now you’re faced with the loss of your health insurance, your disability insurance, dental insurance, eye insurance, maybe even your retirement plan contributions, and you’re wondering if those are something you’re entitled to be compensated for. The answer is yes. It’s necessary to value those benefits. Typically, we hire experts to do that. But the value of those benefits for as long as you’re going to be disabled from work is certainly something you’re entitled to be paid for. If you’d like to discuss your loss of benefits claim, you can reach me 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at 321-723-1997. I look forward to speaking with you.

Hi, I’m attorney Scott Wright. You’ve been injured in an accident, and you’ve been able to return to work, but you’re beginning to miss time either for doctor appointments or physical therapy and having to use your sick leave or perhaps your employer isn’t paying you for time away from work. You’re wondering if those lost wages or those hours of sick leave that you lose are something that you can be compensated for. The answer is yes. In fact, if your condition is permanent and you’re going to be losing time for work perhaps for the remainder of your work life, you’re entitled to be compensated for all of that time. It can, in fact, amount to a surprisingly large sum. If you’d like to discuss your wage claim, you can reach me 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at 321-723-1997. I look forward to speaking with you.

Personal Injury Attorney – Temporarily Unable to Work – Central Florida

Hi, I’m attorney Scott Wright. You’ve been involved in an accident. As a result, you’ve suffered injuries. Because of those injuries, you know you’re going to be out of work at least on a temporary basis, and you’re wondering whether or not those temporary wage losses are something you’re entitled to be compensated for. The answer is yes. You needn’t have a permanent disability in order to sustain a wage loss. All that you need is the opinion of your treating physician that, as a result of the injuries from the accident, you’ll be unable to perform your normal occupational responsibilities and a statement, also, as to how long the doctor believes that will be so. If you’d like to discuss your temporary wage loss claim, feel free to give me a call. You can reach me 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at 321-723-1997. I look forward to speaking with you.

Hi, I’m attorney Scott Wright. You’ve been involved in an accident and been injured, and as a result, you’re no longer able to meet the demands of your job. It might be that your job requires lifting, climbing, bending, twisting, work overhead, things of that nature that you’re simply no longer able to do. There are some things though that you believe you could do to become gainfully employed. In those circumstances, you’re entitled to vocational retraining — that’s an element of your damages — and any difference in income that you realize as a result of having to take a work that’s below what you were previously able to do is something that you’re entitled to be compensated for. If you’d like to discuss your wage claim resulting in your inability to return to previous employment or any other aspect of your case, please feel free to give me a call. You can reach me 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at 321-723-1997. I look forward to speaking with you.

Attorney Help – Shortened Work Life – Cocoa FL

Hi. I’m attorney Scott Wright. Most Americans look forward to working to age 65 or longer if they’re physically able. You’ve been involved in a car crash or injured in some other way as a result of someone else’s negligence, and you’re concerned that you’ll not be able to work to age 65. The shortened work life expectancy that results from personal injury is an element of damages for which you’re entitled to be compensated. Generally, we would speak with your physician and obtain an opinion within what’s called reasonable medical probability that you will have a shortened work life expectancy. In that case, you’d be entitled to recover wages for the years that you lose before age 65, which is normal retirement age. If you’d like to discuss your wage claim or your concerns over shortened work life expectancy, please feel free to give me a call. You can reach me 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at 321-723-1997. I look forward to speaking with you.
