Can I Recover Lost Wages After a California Car Accident?

Yes, you can recover lost wages after a California car accident. At Salamati Law, we can help you receive financial compensation for all of the time you were forced to miss work due to your accident. Lost wages include your salary and all other forms of compensation, including vacation pay and sick pay. If this has happened to you, contact us today for a free consultation.

Some Victims Lose a Years’ Worth of Wages

Some automobile crash victims may only miss a day or two due to their injuries. However, others may miss weeks or even months, and some may not ever return to the workforce. Many victims of high-speed accidents and drunk driving are concerned about their ability to provide for their families and pay the bills during the period when they are recovering at home. This collision was not your fault. You have the right to recover financial compensation. You and your family should be able to maintain the same standard of living.

How Do I Calculate the Amount of My Lost Wages?

Depending on your industry or your role, calculating lost wages for some positions may be simpler than for others. For example, if you are self-employed, an independent contractor, work on commission, or receive tips, it may be more complex to calculate.

Here are documents that will help you and your Los Angeles car accident lawyer prove your total lost wages:

  • Tax returns from previous years
  • Pay stubs
  • A letter from your employer may reveal that you lost out on a hefty bonus or promotion due to the time you missed
  • Job interviews that you were unable to complete due to your injuries
  • Statements from your bank

What Can the Right Los Angeles Car Accident Lawyer Do for Me?

Insurance companies are notorious for doing everything possible to minimize the amount of lost wages you recover. We recommend that you consult with an experienced Los Angeles personal injury attorney as soon as possible. It will help ensure that the insurance company does not take advantage of you.
