Question:
How does lost wage reimbursement work in Buffalo?
Answer:
Very often, when you’re involved in a very serious car accident, you’re not going to be able to work. What happens in that situation is you have our own insurance coverage called “no-fault.” It doesn’t matter how the accident happened or who is at fault. What it means is that you have coverage for your own reimbursement of lost wages. What you have to do is fill out a no-fault form, and you have to submit that to your own insurance company. Then you also have to provide information from your employer to show what your lost wages are. You will also have to get a doctor’s note from the physician that’s treating you to show that the doctor has taken you out of work. If that happens, then you’ll have coverage under your own insurance policy.
There are very strict time limits related to this, however. That claim form has to be filed no later than 30 days after your accident. If you miss that deadline, you will not be able to get your lost wages reimbursed. It’s very important to file a no-fault claim in order to get your lost wages reimbursed.
