Why is my Moms lawyer asking for her past three years of W-2 forms? -

My Mom has a case against Workers Compensation. What could be the reason that the lawyer want with her W-2 Forms? Workers Compensation has failed to give her time off pay from being hurt on the job, which was a year ago.

They need to determine whether the job she was hurt on was her primary job in order to accurately determine how much to pay out. Also, if she was hurt on one job but had two and can t do either it might increase her payout. Also, if she was getting paid quot;under the tablequot; (off the books/tax free), she won t be eligible for benefits.

to verify her employment, and her pay rate, and her inability to work since the injury.
