It seems to me that 4 weeks wages for a guy who is unemployed is $0. Now if he wants to come foreward and report that he has been avoiding paying taxes by working under the table for the last year, then he will lose money because he will owe back taxes, and fines, and penalties!

i do believe he has a case for damages from the company just not lost wages, hes wanting a years worth of lost wages from the lawsuit. But he has not went back to work and the doctor never told him he couldnt work all the time before the surgery, but after his surgery the doctor said no work for 4 weeks. so do u think he will get lost wages for them four weeks even though he was unemployed at the time of the accident? Its a really confusing matter just a reminder this isnt like trying to recover time off from work like normally when u have a accident. he didnt have a job when this accident happened

I don't know if this is an equally stupid question, but your friend is seeking damages in the form of lost wages against the owner of the store where he was injured? And you are asking if there is basis to claim for lost wages even if your friend was unemployed at that time?

Just being sure I get your question.

Cheers.
