Re: loss wages and medical payments

To the extent that you lost wages or incurred medical expenses as a result of the accident, then you are entitled to recover those. You cannot, however, force the insurance company to pay for them, absent filing a lawsuit. You may have more success if you retain an attorney. In cases with minimal property damage, it is not uncommon for the insurer to deny some of the bodily injury claim. You may also have insurance under your own policy.
