In a successful work accident claim you will receive compensation for the pain and suffering from your injury, and all of your past financial losses and future losses.
If the medical evidence supports the fact that an individual may never be able to work again, then we will claim all future loss of earnings. These are calculated in a specific way and there has to be a discount in the calculation to allow for the fact that not only will payment be made in a lump sum, but we also have to factor in the uncertainties of life.
For example, A 35-year old man may never work again because of his injuries and his future loss of earnings will be calculated to the age of 65 but, there are no guarantees that he will reach that age.
