Michigan car accident victims can often make claims for Wage Loss Benefits under the Michigan No-Fault laws.  These claims are made against their own auto insurance company, or other times, against a designated insurance company.  It is necessary to file the proper forms with the insurance company to obtain these benefits.  Attorney Daniel Buckfire has completed a “How To” video to show accident victims the proper way to complete these forms.  You can view it below and I encourage you to call us anytime if you have questions on your rights after a Michigan car accident.

Wage and Income Loss 

What is it for? 

Wage Loss benefits are for your loss of income due to the injuries you suffered in the car accident. 

How much can I get? 

You are entitled to receive 85% of your gross pay, including overtime, or loss of income, for the first three years following the accident if you are disabled as a result of the accident.

What if I was self-employed on the date of the accident? 

You are still entitled to these benefits if you were self-employed on the date of the accident.

What if I was not employed on the date of the accident? 

Many times, you are still entitled to be paid your lost wages even if you were not employed on the date of the accident.  If you were a seasonal employee (like a landscaper, summer work crew, or even a ski instructor) at the time of the accident, you can still receive these benefits if the accident happened during your off work season.   If you were about to start a new job at the time of the accident, you can still receive these benefits based upon what your income would have been in your new job.

What if I was looking for a job on the date of the accident? 

If you were not working but were looking for a job, you are still entitled to be paid wage loss benefits.  You will need to show proof that you were trying to find a job, such as submitting resumes or putting in job applications with potential employers.  The amount of your wage loss benefits will be based on income from your last job before the car accident.

What if was being paid in cash for my job? 

This does not matter.  You simply need proof that you were working and being paid for your work.  In order to prove your income, it will be necessary to file tax returns to show what your income before the car accident.

How long can I get it for? 

You are entitled to these benefits for the first three years after the date of the accident if you are unable to work.  If you are still unable to work after the three year anniversary of your accident, you may have an additional claim for wage loss against the other driver and owner of the car that caused the accident.  If you caused the accident, you can only receive this benefit for the three year period.

What if I lost my job due to the injuries from the car accident?
