Who Pays for Lost Wages While I Wait for a Settlement?
We understand that the time after an accident can be physically, mentally, and financially draining. Bills keep on coming in, but there is little to no income when you are unable to work. Unfortunately, the insurance company of the at-fault party will not reimburse you for any lost wages immediately.
You may be able to use any vacation time, sick leave, or benefits through your employer that can help tide you over until your settlement check arrives. You could also be entitled to assistance from Social Security if you have become disabled. Your personal injury attorney could help you find a solution until your settlement funds come in.
