We compute daily pay (directly or from hourly wage and hours), multiply by workdays missed, then add any future lost earning capacity for your total.

The obvious piece is the wages you didn’t earn while recovering — daily pay times the workdays you missed. But a serious injury can also reduce what you’re able to earn going forward, whether through permanent limitations or a forced career change. That "lost earning capacity" is a legitimate, and often much larger, part of a claim.
Pay stubs, employer letters and tax returns substantiate the wages-out figure. Future capacity usually needs an expert — a vocational or economic specialist — to project credibly. Add a conservative estimate here to see how much the long-term piece can move your total.
