Question:

How does lost wage reimbursement work in a car accident case?

Answer:

If you’ve been injured in a car accident in Boise, Idaho or a car accident anywhere in Idaho that prevents you from earning your income, that income flow loss can be one of the most painful parts of your damages claim. The problem is, in a third-party liability case where somebody else caused damage to you they don’t have to reimburse you pay-as-you-go. It doesn’t happen. There’s another form of injury cases, workers’ compensation claims, where that is the rule, where you’ll get some of your wages while you’re recovering from your injury. A Boise, Idaho car accident doesn’t happen that way.

You have to be careful about your resources, and we can calculate and ultimately recover and get you paid back the income that you have lost. In the short-term, you’ve lost those wages and you’ve lost that cash flow, and that can really impact what’s going to go on with your bills and your ability to pay your own medical expenses and all those things that are happening in your life. One of the things you get with good lawyers and your lost wage component is we can help sometimes with managing the collections side and let them know that those wages will be coming back. It can be a part of the representation the we provide in appropriate circumstances.

This is one of the most painful parts of a Boise, Idaho car accident case— figuring out how to manage financially when resources aren’t coming in that are expected.
