Missing Work and Losing Pay Because of an Automotive Accident? You Deserve Compensation
When you get hurt in an auto accident, the severity of your injuries can vary wildly. Sometimes you can walk away with just a need for a few ibuprofen tablets and some rest. In many cases though, injuries that cause chronic pain and result in extensive time rehabilitating can result from everyday collisions that don’t seem to be that serious. Others who are uninjured are without the use of their primary transportation to and from work, causing them to use paid time off if they have it, or worse yet take a loss in wages for the days they miss. Many people involved in an auto accident only claim insurance to repair or replace their car, but many are also unaware that they are entitled to compensation for any time missed at work.
Lost wages are covered by many auto insurance policies, and most of the time that cost of missing work goes unpaid because drivers are not aware that their insurance policy or the other driver’s policy includes compensation for lost wages. If you are paying for it, and everyone else is paying for it, you should take advantage of that coverage. However, the difficulty with this scenario is that many insurance companies are often reluctant to pay out on lost wages claims, and getting the money you deserve to make up for missed time on the job can be difficult. Many times, lost wages claims involve a protracted claims process that doesn’t help pay your bills in the meantime. Even worse, if you are injured and miss work to recover properly, you may find yourself even further disadvantaged financially. Don’t just settle for getting your car repaired or replaced. If you’ve missed work due to an auto accident, you deserve to have that money reimbursed by the insurance company.
