Navigating Lost Wages and Disability Benefits After an Accident

An accident can turn your world upside down—especially if your injuries prevent you from working. Lost wages and financial stress can make recovery even harder. Here’s what you need to know about protecting your income and securing the compensation you deserve:

✅ Lost Wages in a Personal Injury Claim – If someone else caused your accident, you may be entitled to recover lost wages through a personal injury claim. This includes past income lost due to your injury and future lost earning capacity if you can’t return to work in the same capacity.

✅ Disability Benefits – If your injury prevents you from working long-term, you may qualify for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI). Private disability insurance may also provide coverage, depending on your policy.

✅ Proving Your Losses – Keep track of medical records, doctor’s notes restricting work, pay stubs, tax returns, and employer statements to support your claim. The more documentation you have, the stronger your case.

✅ Legal Guidance Matters – Navigating personal injury claims and disability benefits can be overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone. An experienced attorney can help you explore all your options.

If an accident has left you unable to work, don’t wait to seek help.

At Gallien Law, we listen, we understand, and we fight for the compensation you deserve.
