In the immediate aftermath of the accident, it’s evident that the insurance company of the liable party will not pay for your lost income. You might need to get disability benefits (short-term or long-term) through your employer or use your Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage if you were injured in an automobile crash. In most cases, these insurers will need to be reimbursed as soon as you get a settlement. In case you have paid time off, sick time, vacation time or other forms of compensation time through your employer, these too can be used.
