Lost wages: If you suffered a slip-and-fall because of spilled milkshake on the floor and broke your ankle, you have missed time away from work because of your trip to the hospital, follow-up visits to the doctor, and time spent recovering. You can get compensated for a portion of your lost wages through your workers' comp claim.
