Compensation for Future Lost Income and Lost Earning Capacity

For individuals with severe injuries that interfere with their ability to work, Missouri provides vocational rehabilitation services. These services are designed to help you regain as much independence as possible and may include job training and other support.  The opinions of these vocational placement and rehabilitation specialists can also be used to establish future lost wages and loss of earning capacity.  Imagine, for instance, you have earned great wages working in the very physically demanding construction industry, but your injuries have left you unable to lift greater than 20 lbs for the remainder of your life.  Is it reasonable to think you might be retrained or further educated to qualify for a desk job?  In most cases it is not, but this type of evidence can go a long way in accounting for future losses in income.
