Auto Insurance Claims: Loss Wages Benefits, lost wages

Question
In the state of Florida can some-one who is self employed collect these benefits? and if so how soon after the accidant is this benefit paid?

Answer
Yes.  A self employed individual will normally be required to provide a tax return in order to prove the amount of lost wages.  The lost wage settlement is part of the general damages and when the injury claim is settled, the lost wage settlement should be included.  It is possible that some companies may cut a separate check for lost wages, but I am not aware of any requirement for them to do so.

I hope this helps!
