Can I file a claim for lost wages due to a catastrophic injury?

Yes, you can file a claim for lost wages due to a catastrophic injury in Maryland. According to Maryland law, if you experience an injury that kept you from working for a period of time or if you are permanently disabled, you can file a “lost wages” claim in civil court. You may be eligible to receive a monetary award to compensate you for your lost wages. The most common type of “lost wages” claim in Maryland is a “personal injury” claim. If you have suffered a catastrophic injury caused by someone else’s negligence or intentional acts, then you may be entitled to compensation for lost wages. This compensation is known as “damages” and is intended to make up for the wages and wages-related benefits lost as a result of the injury. In order to be successful in a lost wages claim, you must be able to prove that the catastrophic injury was caused by the other party’s negligence or intentional act. You also must be able to prove that you suffered an actual economic loss due to the injury. This may include providing documentation of your lost wages, such as pay stubs or tax returns. If you have experienced a catastrophic injury in Maryland, you should speak with an experienced catastrophic injury attorney right away.
