How Can I Claim Lost Wages After a Car Accident In Cyprus?

If you were injured in a car accident and have lost wages as a result, you may be able to recover those lost wages from the insurance company of the at-fault driver.

The law in Cyprus is clear: loss of income that was caused due to an accident is recoverable from the party at fault (or their insurers). Lawyers call this kind of damages “special damages”.

Now, even though the law is clear, insurance companies are always ready to put up a fight before they pay compensation and, naturally, they will always request proof of your losses.

Here are some steps you can take to recover your lost wages:

You Must Have Proof of Your Income at The Time of The Accident

First and foremost, you will need to prove how much was you income prior to the accident. This is the basis the Court will use to calculate your loss. You must be able to demonstrate documentation to that effect. Our lawyers will guide you and assist in gathering all the relevant information.

You Must Keep Records of Your Lost Wages

It's important to keep accurate records of the time you have missed from work due to the accident, including the dates and hours missed, as well as any documentation from your employer regarding your absence.

We will require you to provide us with your records of lost wages. We will likely request from you additional information, such as proof of your employment and your regular wages.

You Must Retain Medical Documentation

You will need to provide us medical documentation that supports your claim of lost wages due to injury. Doctors must certify your inability to work for the relevant period you wish to claim. Documentation may include for example your sick leave, doctor's notes, medical bills, and other related documents.
