Please accept today’s blog entry from the accident lawyer from Boca Raton (injury lawyer Pompano Beach, accident attorney Fort Lauderdale, injury attorney Lauderhill, accident lawyer North Lauderdale, injury attorney Margate, accident lawyer Coral springs).
When you fall AND it is the fault of the business establishment, you may be entitled to your damages. Damages would include medical bills, past and future, pain and suffering, past and future, and lost wages, past and future. In such a case, you would be able to ask the jury (or ask the insurance company for the business establishment) for your lost wages. It is rare that they will pay those lost wages while your case is pending but certainly that would be part of a claim against the insurance and it would be something that could be asked for in court.
Outside of a insurance claim or the court case, if you have a short or long term disability policy and miss work due to an accident you may be able to make such a claim. Obviously, to the extent that you have sick time or vacation time at work, you would be able to get paid that way. And obviously in a worst case scenario where you are laid off due to the accident, you may be entitled to unemployment compensation. Certainly, you should consider a consultation with a lawyer regarding your wage rights and this blog is intended to be general in nature.
