Hello.  I am sorry to learn of your injury.  You may have multiple possible paths of action.  Certain insurance policy benefits provide for the payment of lost wages due to an auto accident.  I urge you to confer with an attorney at this time, so that the attorney may assist you in advocating effectively for your rights.  I suggest you telephone several attorneys, because it is important that you feel comfortable with the attorney you choose to assist you.  All the best.
