Lost wages and benefits.
A type of economic damages, lost wages can be claimed for back lost wages and future lost wages. A simple doctor’s note that you can’t work and a note from your employer stating your wage and hour and that you missed work.
Future Impaired Capacity to Work.
Impaired capacity to work is completely different than simple back lost wages. Examples of impaired capacity work would be a hand injury to a surgeon, or a facial, speech injury to an attorney. The injury directly impacts their chosen line of work.
