LOSS OF EARNINGS CLAIM & COMPENSATION
A loss of earnings claim is a type of personal injury claim, which is available to those who have experienced a loss of earnings due to an accident or injury.
In Scotland, if you have been injured as a result of someone else’s negligence, then you may be eligible for compensation to cover your lost earnings. This loss of earnings compensation can help make up for the money that has been lost due to time off work and medical expenses.
The amount of compensation awarded may depend on several factors including the severity and duration of your injury, whether it was caused by someone else’s negligence and how much money you would have earned had the incident not occurred.
It is important to note that any award will be less than the total amount lost in order to account for taxes and other deductions from your wages. To make a claim for loss of earnings contact us today.
