Damages Due To Lost Opportunities
To be reimburse for lost income, an accident victim must consist and show two basic attributes:
- How much time was actually missed from work or relating to the opportunity due to the accident at bar, and,
- How much income/money would have been made as a result of the work or opportunity
The fact that a personal injury lawyer Phoenix client was able to take vacation pay or sick leave and therefore did not directly lose income does not matter in a personal lawyer Phoenix client case. As the using of sick leave or vacation pay is considered the same as losing pay itself, the client is entitled to use that sick leave or vacation time for other periods when she might need or want it per Arizona law.
Although it is comparatively more difficult in a personal injury lawyer Phoenix factual pattern to prove up lost income by missing opportunities compared to those situations where actual work is missed, a client is entitled to be reimbursed for work opportunities lost as a result of their accident. Such lost opportunities include for example, missing a sales meeting or job interview.
Such compensation is allowed even in the instance when an actual dollar amount is difficult or not immediately able to be dervived.
