Legal Question in Insurance Law in Florida
loss of wage recovery
I am under a medical doctors note to not return to work until December 1st, my family is suffering financially.
If I go find a job and work while under this note am i committing a crime? I am the victim in a car crash, and the medical doctor has diagnosed a pinched nerve etc. Injections begin soon to manage the pain.
The insurance company has compensated me for 60% of loss of wage for the month however the amount falls short of our budget.
My question is why is it a crime to support my family. When the insurance company is only reimbursing me for 60%
of my loss of wage. I need the other 40%, why can I not
simply go out and earn it. The at fault carrier says it will be included in the settlement, I dont have a crystal ball. I am certainly willing to go and work in pain and die if i have to so my 3 little ones have a christmas.
Would it not be duress under the law to not pay somebody until they agree to a settlement?
to be fraud or not to be
