Reimbursement For Lost Wages in a Personal Injury Claim

Transcript:

So after being injured in an accident, how does getting reimbursed for your lost wages work? That’s a really important question because it seems like it should be easy but it’s complicated. An insurance company is actually looking for a couple of things.

If you’re not able to work, they are looking for medical records from a doctor that actually say you’re not able to work for a certain period of time. In addition to the proof from your employer that you actually did not work the days that you missed. And so those are really the two pieces and the biggest problem I see clients have is actually having the medical pieces, actually having a doctor document the fact that the client isn’t able to work. The point of that is this, if you’ve been hurt in an accident and you’re not able to work you need to have that conversation with your doctor.
