I was 30 weeks pregnant and was involved in a car crash. My baby ended up coming early two weeks later.I am concerned about future medical expenses for my child as she was premature.Can you help?

I’ve been hearing this question a lot lately. Whenever a woman who is pregnant is injured in a car wreck and her baby ends up being delivered early there is a big question mark as to whether or not the baby is okay. Premature babies often suffer lung issues down the road because they weren’t ready to come into the world. In that regard if you have been injured in a car wreck and your baby was delivered early please give me a call. I have experience in this exact situation and have handled many cases such as yours.

I missed work because of my injuries from my car accident. Can I recover for that lost time?

Yes, you can make a claim for your lost wages.  If you have been the victim of a car accident that was not your fault, you should get a note or other written documentation from your doctor showing the reason for your work restriction, and get something signed by your employer detailing the days of work that you missed and your current wage or rate of pay. These things will be very helpful for your recovery in your claim for lost wages.
