The hourly wage is calculated by multiplying the total hours lost by the hourly wage. In the case of salaried employees, it is multiplied by the time lost. Regular wages include time lost due to the plaintiff's claim. These regular wage figures apply to salaried and hourly employees. In the case of salaried employees, the time lost is multiplied by the plaintiff's annual salary.
If you receive a fixed annual wage, simply divide your annual wage by 52 to get a weekly rate. Then divide by five to determine your daily rate. Then, multiply your daily rate by the days lost. When an insured party with adequate business coverage experiences an interruption due to a covered loss, they may be entitled to recover the loss of their business income. But how do you calculate the loss of business revenue for insurance claims? Business income is generally defined by each specific policy, but is generally calculated as lost net income plus ongoing expenses.
It's generally easier for me to report the company's lost sales minus the expenses saved (not ongoing). In either of the two filings, the same amount of the loss of business revenue is determined. Usually, this coverage is designed to complete the business as if the loss or interruption had never occurred. First, I calculate the company's lost sales, which is usually done using historical sales data.
Let's use as an example a pizzeria that is forced to close on a Friday. To calculate lost sales, I can use the sales figures for the previous four Fridays to determine the average sales for Fridays and use that average as the projected sales lost due to the interruption. Once I calculate lost sales, I determine the expenses that the company will save as a result of the loss of sales and the suspension of operations. These saved expenses are called “non-ongoing expenses”.
I usually review the company's most recent tax return or profit and loss statement to understand the company's expenses and the expenses that will be saved as a result of the loss of sales or the suspension of the operation. Using the example of a pizza place, the typical expenses that would be saved if it closed one day would be the cost of the products sold, the supplies, the credit card fees and, possibly, the payroll. From the profit and loss statement or tax return, I can determine the company's average ratio of these expenses as a percentage of sales, which will then be applied to sales lost due to the interruption. If you do not promptly notify the VCF of the pending disability claim and the VCF processes your claim and issues only compensation for non-economic losses, the claim for economic loss will be reviewed in order of priority based on the date of submission of the amendment informing the VCF of the completed disability determination.
If your employer provided you with benefits, such as a counterpart to the 401K plan or other types of benefits that you would normally receive at the time of retirement, you must provide proof of those benefits for the VCF to calculate the loss. By law, the VCF can only compensate for losses caused by eligible conditions related to the events of September 11, 2001. The VCF will calculate the loss of pension for victims who worked for a New York City agency that is part of the New York City Employee Retirement System (“NYCERS”) (p.Self-employed workers are likely to have to show tax returns, profit and loss statements, and documented proof of job loss due to personal injury. In the same way, the calculations of economic losses are also based on the assumption that the percentage of personal consumption corresponding to the level of compensable income determined by the victim on the date of death, or when the victim was unable to work or had to reduce his work due to the required conditions, applies for the rest of the victim's career, without decrease (assuming that no child leaves the home and the size of the household remains the same). If you filed a claim for economic loss and have since decided that you do not want the VCF to review your claim for economic losses, you can withdraw that part of your claim at any time by submitting an amendment.
Keep in mind that, in general, the VCF will not compensate for the loss of military income and benefits, unless you have left the service due to a condition that you have the requirements. If the WTC Health Program has certified your condition, no further documentation is needed to support a claim for non-economic loss; the VCF will grant the non-economic loss at the lower end of the range for the applicable condition based solely on certification from the WTC Health Program. The dedicated team of personal injury attorneys at Thompson Law is here to guide you through the process and ensure that your claim takes into account all of your monetary losses. For the purposes of determining the consumption rate and household size, the term “dependent” refers to a person who received financial support from the deceased and can include people who are not considered when calculating compensation for non-economic loss due to wrongful death, since the definition of “dependent” for the purpose of granting additional non-economic loss is stricter.
Please note that, in all cases, although the conditions may be considered equivalent when deciding whether a disabling condition is the same as the conditions that meet the requirements, these conditions are NOT equivalent for the purpose of determining the appropriate amount of compensation for non-economic losses, as explained in section 2.1 above. We consider complex revenue structures and collect evidence that insurance companies and juries understand and take seriously. However, to calculate economic losses, it was assumed that any income tax rate corresponding to the level of compensable income determined by the victim on the date of death, or when the victim was unable to work or had to reduce his work due to the required conditions, would apply it for the rest of the victim's career, without increase. Calculating lost wages for self-employed workers can be a complex task due to income variability and the lack of a standard wage or an hourly rate.
