• Lost wages and benefits: After you’ve been hurt on the job, you may be unable to work and earn an income over the following weeks, months, or even years.

Compensation can cover lost wages that you would have received (both past and future) had you not suffered harm.
• Pain and suffering: Workers’ compensation claims can factor in pain and suffering, which is a common term for emotional trauma. Compensation for pain and suffering may consider the impact physical trauma has on your quality of life. However, most cases involving non-economic compensation rely on your litigation team’s ability to position your case favorably and use your evidence to detail your losses fully.
• Medical bills: Factoring your medical bills allows you to recover compensation for many of your economic losses.

These losses are easier to figure out because you have proof regarding how much you spent.
• Physical rehabilitation: You may have physical therapy and rehabilitation as part of your treatment plan. If you have to pay for any of the costs associated with therapy, you can pursue these damages as part of your claim.
