How do I collect my lost wages?

A: To collect lost wages, you must have a doctor's order not to work for any missed time more than a day or two, a letter from your employer verifying the dates and hours you missed, and proof of your income. A paystub or W-2 is usually sufficient to show how much you earn, although if you are self-employed you may need to provide additional documentation such as tax returns. An Austin accident injury attorney will assist you in presenting all the necessary paperwork to make a lost wage claim.
