I was attending college to finish my masters degree in Nursing. while working a side job to make money, I was hit by electricity that now disabled me for the rest of my life. I'll never work again! While recuperating now, I forgot to withdraw my resumes from the internet for Nursing jobs. Was send several emails about job offers from prestigous medical/health systems. How depressed would you be to find out that your getting offers for these jobs knowing you can never take the jobs? I'm fighting for my workers compensation from that employer where I got hurt. Do you think I should include potential earning capacity as part of my law suit seeing these job offers are with top dollar health systems.?

Absolutely! In addition to your medical expenses and general pain and suffering, your lawyer SHOULD also factor in loss from future earnings..and this is a figure that you can quantify based on the offers you received X expected work life......there is case law that allows for it.....

Absolutely! You are entitled to punitive and compensatory damages, which would include your earnings potential. I would contact an attorney immediately about handling your workers comp claim and initiate a lawsuit right away. There are many attorneys that will handle the case pro bono for you, meaning they will take your case at no out of pocket expense to you and collect a portion of the settlement as their fee.

How about the push with assistance from the federal authorities and Bush to extend using ethanol in automobiles to change gas and therefore decrease our dependency on overseas oil. that is between the finest shams performed on the yankee human beings. ok, so ethanol is sparkling burning, and is derived from corn (a renewal source substantial contained in the heartland of united states). that each and each and every man or woman sounds large on the exterior, yet what not commonly all and sundry is accepted with is that it truly makes us extra depending on overseas oil because the the full procedure to augment the corn and make the ethanol takes up so a lot extra gas than if we merely skipped this step and placed the gas rapidly contained in the automobiles. a extra effectual decision is organic gas, yet I in no way hear all and sundry talking about that as a workable decision!
