How do I Recover My Lost Time from Work?
Most liability insurance companies will not pay for lost wages until a final settlement is made on a claim. You should therefore look to other resources to get through the period during which you are unable to work. Some of these resources include:
- Worker’s compensation benefits, if you were in the course of your employment at the time of the accident.
- Private or group disability benefits (short term and long term).
- Social Security Disability Benefits if you are totally disabled and that disability is expected to last for at least one year.
