www.maritimeaccidentattorney.com If you work offshore and have suffered a maritime accident or injury, you may be hoping to collect lost wages from your company under a Jones Act lawsuit. However, one of the most common and confusing questions clients have concerning this scenario is how much money they are actually entitled to collect.
Before your offshore injury, there was a certain amount of wages you were likely expected to make for a certain amount of years, until the end of your career. After your injury, as your body is not in the shape it was prior, you may not be able to make as much money or work for as many years. Under a Jones Act lawsuit, your lawyers will find the difference between the amount of money you would have made before your injury, and the amount you are expected to make after your injury. This number is the amount you can collect for lost wages.
