Like any personal injury lawsuit, you’ll first need to prove that another person or business entity is responsible for your injuries and was negligent. Where a case becomes more complicated for a self-employed person is in the calculation of lost wages. If you work for someone else, either as an hourly or salaried employee, it is rather straightforward to calculate how many hours or days of work you lost due to your injuries and provide a letter stating what regular compensation and bonuses, commissions, or other forms of compensation you missed out on. You can also include any sick, vacation, or bonus days you had to use during your hospitalization and recovery. If you are self-employed, the process becomes more complicated.
There are four main types of worker’s compensation that you may be entitled to. A Chicago workers’ compensation lawyer can help you understand what type of compensation you are likely to receive, depending on your unique situation. The four main types of worker’s compensation benefits are medical, lost wage, vocational rehabilitation, and death benefits.
