Where this workbook fits in damages review
Truck Accident Lost Wages Calculator Google Sheets is a damages-side workbook. It becomes useful once the file needs reviewable numbers, category separation, or a cleaner package rather than broad intake notes.
The point is not to create an unsupported total. It is to keep the logic, inputs, and supporting references visible enough for insurer or attorney review.
Inputs that make the numbers more useful
- Dates of work absence matched to medical restrictions or recovery milestones.
- Pay rate, overtime, bonus, or self-employment inputs kept separate from guesses.
- Employer verification or payroll support noted for every major wage-loss entry.
- Separate documented amounts from assumptions or future estimates before totals are reviewed.
