    Default Underinsured Coverage of Wage Losses

    My question involves an injury that occurred in the state of: California

    We were hit by a DUI driver and sustained injuries to my knee which required an operation. I was unable to perform my job at full capacity for months and then needed surgery to repair my knee. I was on crutches and 100% disabled for three months after the surgery and was fired from a good job because of the injuries. The DUI driver was underinsured and only had $50K of coverage for 3 people who were injured, 2 vehicles totaled and 1 vehicle with average damage. I had Geico underinsured for $100K/300K. Can I claim loss of wages from my underinsured policy? What else can I claim?

    Default Re: Underinsured Coverage of Wage Losses

    In California medical bills and loss of wages are among the expenses you should be able to claim through your uninsured motorist coverage.

    Talk to your ins. agt.
    Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.
