I had an accident a year ago, done $20,000 to my Truck which was paid for by his insurance company (I was not at fault) but ran into alot of problems trying to collect money for lost time. Since I was not hurt NO LAWYER would take my case to get payment for lost wages as they all told me it would not be worth the time.

Also how the Police writes it up has alot to do with it. I had a great State Trooper who sided with me as well as the Insurance.

I was down for 18 days counting weekends and got $2700.00 total for my lost wages. It was not what I expected and I waited until this year to settle thinking I could get the Insurance to pay more.

Going through a accident is like getting divorced, unless you have done it, then you really don't know what it is like. Every accident like divorces are different.
