If you have been injured in a South Florida truck accident due to the fault of a negligent truck driver or another party, you may be entitled to different types of compensation, including financial compensation for lost wages and income. Every situation is different, and many things would have to be considered.

Insurance companies will look at the severity of your injury, doctor’s notes, and your medical records to determine if they will offer you compensation for lost wages. You may be able to receive a certain percentage of lost income through your own insurance under your personal injury protection (PIP) policy; however, in a Florida personal injury lawsuit, you may be able to obtain the full amount of your lost wages and more. Sometimes, lawsuits are the only way to get the insurance company to pay the fair amount you are entitled to.
