Loss Wages Due to Accident

My wife was involved in a car accident (California). She was 100% not at fault. As a result, her doctor relieved her from work for a couple of days. Question -- does she have any recourse for loss wages against the party who hit her, being that she is paid on an hourly basis?

Yes. She should get a letter from her employer verifying that she missed time from work and her hourly wage. This, along with the doctor's note taking her off of work, would be sufficient proof of her wage loss.
