2. Past lost wages

Past wage loss provides compensation for the income you were unable to earn while you were unable to work due to your injury.

Were you working at the time of your accident?

Yes

Why weren't you working at the time of the accident?

I was in between jobs.

I was temporarily off work due to a disability.

I was permanently unable to work due to a disability.

I was a stay-at-home parent or caregiver.

I was retired but intended to return to work part-time or occasionally.

I was fully retired with no plans to return to work.

Can you briefly describe your occupation, work hours, and income?

Have you missed time from work or had to use vacation or sick days due to your injury?

Yes

How much time did you miss because you were unable to work?

Have you missed time from work to attend treatment appointments?

Yes

How many days or hours have you missed from attending appointments?

Past wage loss refers to the income you were unable to earn while you were off work due to your injury. Even if you received pay by using sick leave or vacation days, it still counts as a loss, since those days are no longer available for future illness or time off. Courts determine the amount of past wage loss by reviewing your employment and tax records. Your own auto insurance—specifically, Section B coverage—offers limited income replacement of about $250 per week while you’re off work, which is generally not enough. Some individuals may also have short- or long-term disability insurance through their employer or union. These policies typically provide more than Section B, but still fall short of covering your full salary. Any remaining loss must be recovered from the person responsible for your injury.

3. Loss of future lost wages

Loss of future wages is awarded when you can demonstrate that your injuries from the accident will likely cause you to miss out on income in the future.

Are you still off work because of the accident?

Yes

Have you had to change employment because of your accident injuries?

Yes

Add any details:

4. Loss of earning capacity

Lost earning capacity compensates you if there is a real risk that your capacity to earn income in the future has been reduced.

Have your duties at work changed because of the accident injuries?

Yes

Is your treatment still continuing and interfering with your work schedule?

Yes

Add any details:

Are there jobs that you aspired to do but are possibly restricted from because of your accident injuries?

Yes

Do you have an increased use of sick time because of the accident injuries?

Yes

Is there reason to believe that you are more likely to have to retire earlier because of the accident injuries?

Yes

Are there jobs you could have done before that you are not capable of now?

Yes

Add any details:

Lost earning capacity compensates you for your inability to earn income in the future. If a carpenter loses their arm, they will have a reduced earning potential because they can’t work as quickly or efficiently. Future earning capacity must account for the possibility of promotions, wage increases, or skills and experience that will make you more marketable and thus eligible for a higher salary. This calculation also involves looking at the number of years you have left in the workforce. The courts will also consider the possibility that the symptoms will dissipate over time and apply a deduction if the evidence warrants this.

5. Loss of valuable services

Loss of valuable services compensates you for your reduced capacity to perform any valuable service for which you are not paid.

Are you unable or less able to do housework as a result of your accident injuries?

Yes

Are you unable or less able to do home repairs and maintenance?

Yes

Add any details:

Are you unable or less able to perform childcare?

Yes

Are you unable or less able to perform any other chores?

Yes

We are not paid for all of the work we do, but that does not mean it is without value. Compensation for housekeeping loss used to fall under general damages for loss of enjoyment. In the 1990's, the courts recognized the value of unpaid work, particularly work traditionally performed by women. Housekeeping and home maintenance are services that most individuals perform for themselves on an unpaid basis. The court will compare the chores you could complete before the accident with those you can do after. You can be compensated under this head of damages even if you did not pay someone to help you complete housekeeping chores.

6. Cost of future care

Cost of future care compensates you for the future medical care you will require due to your injury.

Will you require future medical care, such as medication, physical therapy, or mobility aids?

Yes

What kind of future care will you require?

The law recognizes that an injured person shouldn’t pay for adaptations, treatments, aids, assistive devices, or medications with their own money when the need for them was caused by a wrongdoer. The courts can award damages for these expenses, known as cost of future care.

7. Out of pocket expenses

You can seek compensation for any expenses you've paid out of pocket as a result of your injury.

Have you had to pay for any treatments, aids, assistive devices, or medications out of pocket?

Yes

Have you had to pay someone to help you with valuable services around the home or otherwise?
