Re: Loss Wages

Your inquiry didn't clarify whether you were injured on the job or just can't work because you are injured from a non-work related incident. If you were injured while working, and the injury incurred due to some unusual or abnormal event, you have a valid workers' compensation claim. You would be entitled to disability benefits equal to 2/3 or your gross pay, as long as you're unable to work.
