Lost Wage Reimbursement in California

Answer:

The other day we had a client come in who had been injured in a car wreck in California, and amongst one of the parts of her claim was that she couldn’t work.Because she couldn’t work, she had what’s called a lost wages claim. The question that she asked us was, “How does lost wage reimbursement work?” We begin by documenting or providing documentation of how much you were making, and we compile an estimate of how much you lost as a result of your inability to work over a period of time. That documentation, be it W9s or documentation from your employer, is then sent over to the other side and that begins the wage loss reimbursement process.
