Proving Wage Loss Made More Difficult By Claims Adjusters

It may be obvious to you that the injuries you sustained in your car accident will prevent you from working, but insurance companies will look for any way to deny your wage loss claim. Many insurance companies will require a written statement from your doctor proving that you are medically unfit for work. This has even been seen in cases with severe injuries such as spinal damage or head trauma.

Another common issue involves car accident victims who are self-employed or work for tips or on commission. Because you usually do not have a concrete documentation of what you earn on a weekly or monthly basis, insurance companies will use this as a loophole to decrease or deny your settlement.

A Chicago car accident lawyer can work with you to determine the best way to handle proving your income for the purposes of filing for wage loss damages. An experienced attorney will know the proper documentation to show your past income and help prove the amounts you are eligible to seek in light of your temporary or permanent inability to work.
