If the injury prevents the plaintiff from working, compensation can be sought for the amount of money normally earned during that time period, otherwise known as "lost wages." The injured person can also claim lost wages for any absences due to medical treatment of the injury.
An injury severe enough to prevent a person from working for the remainder of his or her life may allow for damages to cover the loss of one's future earnings.
Finally, if a person dies due to an accident, family members can choose to sue for the lost income that the victim would have earned based on his or her age and current salary.
