A: If the accident was due to a car crash and you have PIP insurance, then you may be able to file a claim for loss in wages against the PIP insurance company. If your PIP has been exhausted prior to the request for loss in wages, then a wage loss claim is part of the demand and/or lawsuit. If you have short term disability and/or long term disability, then you may be able to file a claim with the administrator of those plans. Best wishes.
