Can I Receive Compensation Despite Getting Paid To Miss Work?

Companies typically offer benefits to their hard working employees. Benefits such as personal days, paid time off, sick days, vacation days. The most unfortunate part about all of this is that victims who have gone through car accidents have to use their paid time off to recover from their latest injury. When you use paid time off, this will allow you to still receive a paycheck when you aren’t in the office. Using this type of benefit is good for a very short time but never for an extended period of time.

Each benefit you receive from your employer shouldn’t have to be used in emergency situations. The hand you got dealt shouldn’t require you to spend all your personal days just because you got injured and it wasn’t even your fault. Think about future situations that can happen in your life. If there is an emergency involving your family in the future, you wouldn’t be able to use your paid time off. You would be put in a tough spot all due to this unfortunate accident.

The good news is you can demand your compensation for all the benefits you had to use because of this car accident.

I’m Self-Employed, Can I Receive Lost Wages?

Absolutely. W2 employees aren’t the only ones entitled to lost wages. Even if you are self-employed you have the right to compensation. The only big difference is you have to prove your loss wage which can be difficult. People who are self-employed typically have an income that fluctuates. Which means you’ll need documentation and financial records to prove how much you have lost because of the personal injury.

Self-employed workers need to provide the following documentation:

  • Tax Returns
  • All 1099s
  • Contracts/Projects
  • Missed Appointments
  • Statements from your Bank

Are you overwhelmed by this? You’re not alone. Give a call to a car accident attorney who can help you receive the compensation you very much deserve.

What’s The First Step To Getting My Lost Wages?

The first step you need to take is to either file a claim from the insurance company, or file a lawsuit so you can receive your lost compensation. 

Here’s a Preview of What Will Follow After That

When you file an insurance claim just know it’s not going to be an easy battle. These insurance companies will do everything in their arsenal so they don’t have to pay your compensation or perhaps even as far as reducing the total amount of money. They will try to argue that your injuries were minor and didn’t have merit for you to miss work and lose your wages.

How To Prove The Insurance Company Wrong About Your Injury

Your primary doctor is your best friend at this stage of your life. You’ll need a statement from your doctor saying how your injury is so severe that it is preventing you from going to work. 

To back up the statement from your doctor, you can use your medical records which will display the injury’s severity.

The Next Step Is Getting Help

You shouldn’t have to struggle any longer after an accident on the road. In addition, you shouldn’t have to miss work because of someone else’s fault. Call an experienced West Palm Beach personal injury lawyer so you can explore your options for your lost wages.
