The article is about 1) knowing that you can recover money from lost wages, and that 2) you need to do certain things in order to accomplish the goal.
Many times with an injury and almost all times with a serious injury, you will miss work. Your income will fall. You will have less money. You might even get fired because you can't work because of the accident. It could have been from something like a dog bite injury. But more likely you were hurt in a car accident, tractor trailer accident, or a motorcycle wreck.
How to Prove Lost Earnings How do you prove to the insurance company or to a jury that you really were hurt and could not work? Think of a person who hates you and will not trust anything you say. What would they want or need to hear or see before they begrudgingly believe you? Perhaps, a letter from the doctor recommending that you skip work for a few days or a couple of weeks? With that letter, your own personal hater would tend to start believing you. So, maybe a little more proof could be in order just so they know that were hurt. How about a lost wage verification form from your employer saying that you didn't work the days the doctor said you shouldn't. Check and mate on that issue
So, how does this relate to your personal injury claim? Just substitute that person with the person at the insurance company and you will have your answer. As a personal injury lawyer, having a doctor's letter and wage verification form are vital.
By having the proof that you really missed days at work and that you made exactly this amount has added benefits. It shows you were injured by the wreck or collision. It shows that you behave like anybody else would in a similar circumstance. Having this gives your case more strength. When you have all this information and have done your homework, settling the case becomes easier if you really want to call the money that is due to you.
