A severe injury can end or limit a career. Vermont claims can recover the income you will never earn.
More Than a Paycheck
Lost future earnings include not just salary but raises, benefits, retirement contributions, and lost earning capacity if you can no longer do your prior work. For a young worker, the lifetime figure can be substantial.
How It Is Proven
Vocational experts assess what work, if any, you can still perform, and economists project the difference between your pre-injury and post-injury earning paths, adjusted to present value.
Why It Is Often Disputed
Insurers challenge these projections aggressively. Solid expert support and clear medical evidence of your limitations are what make the number stick.
