Car accident? Have you lost pay or wages? You didn't expect this to happen and on top of having to get your car fixed and being injured, maybe you have also missed work? Obviously, your bills don't stop.
The first thing you could do is check with your insurance company. Ask them if you have "first party wage loss" coverage on your policy. The advantage of having wage loss coverage on your policy is that, even where the other driver was at fault, you can get reimbursed for lost wages as you lose them. Under Pennsylvania auto insurance policies, wage loss coverage is optional. The first five days missed are a deductible (the 5 days don't have to be consecutive).
If you don't have wage loss coverage on your own policy, the at-fault driver's insurance carrier still owes you for your lost wages. But, they won't pay you the lost wages until the end of the case.
You should consult with an experienced Pennsylvania Injury Lawyer before agreeing to any settlements or signing any documents.
At Wolpert Schreiber P.C., there is no cost, fee or obligation to meet with us. We can evaluate your case and provide you with options for how to proceed.
