Insurance claim: collecting your lost wages

A few months ago, you went into the avenue, you took care of your own business. When, out of nowhere, this stumbling and a stumbling man named Freddie Fuddle crossed a stop sign and swept over you with a gigantic roar. , scathing edges. You were wearing your seatbelt, but it was always a thunderous shock that tore you up and whipped you inside your vehicle, something fierce!

Now, after a long payback period, Fuddle's Granite Mountain Insurance claims to closure. They instructed the Claims Adjuster, Mr. Strong, to take care of your case. Strong and you sit at your kitchen table and discuss your settlement dollars It turns out he has something to complain about your loss of income.

Loss of wages is one of the most important elements of your damage. Listen to me carefully when I say to you, "Do not waste time and win days of work that you have missed from work." It's not a waste of time and money but lost earning capacity.


In most cases - even if you were paid while you were away from work - you should always have this money systematically identified as a loss of pay. Why? Because it's your lost winning ability. Your lost earning capacity is what is called compensatory damage. Do not let Strong scam you off these compensatory damages. Even if you have received an income, in another way, you are still entitled to it. Strong will do everything in its power to take advantage of you, especially with respect to the payment of your lost earning capacity. During each settlement negotiation in which he is involved, he will try this tactic to measure its extent, and it is astonishing how many times he gets away with it.
The typical statement made at that time by the unsuspecting claimant is: "Hey, I understand that I have to be paid for my lost wages."

"Yes, but my average weekly income last year was $ 272.00 a week."
 "We'll pay you this difference in $ 71.00 a week You see, you were in bed and unable to work for five weeks Five times $ 75.00 is $ 372.00 Do not worry my friend, I'll make sure you get paid $ 372.00. "

"Sensational!" you think, "it's great!" You are delighted to die with this turn of events. But what you do not know is that the $ 2
300 per week you received from your accident and health insurance policy has absolutely nothing to do with your loss of income. this Smart has just deceived you a thousand dollars! And worse than that, the $ 275.00 per week income you lost (for a total of $ 1,375.00) would have (litigated) given your case $ 1,000.00 to $ 4,000.00 or more in settlement dollars.
