Are you currently dealing with Mercury insurance after an accident? Is Mercury refusing to pay your lost wages? If so, you might benefit from speaking with one of our lawyers. Unfortunately, insurance companies often refuse to rightfully pay portions of insurance claims – like lost income – even when the claim is perfectly valid. If Mercury is not cooperating and refusing to pay you the lost earnings that you are owed, you might have found yourself asking some of the following questions:
- Does Mercury need to pay for my lost income if I missed work after my accident?
- Does Mercury have to pay my lost wages if I was unable to work because of my injuries?
- Why is Mercery refusing to pay for my lost wages?
- What are my rights? Can I sue Mercury for refusing to pay for my lost wages?

Does Mercury have to Pay for My Lost Wages?
Does Mercury have to pay for your lost wages if you miss work after an accident? Does Mercury have to pay for missed time off work after an accident? Yes – if the injuries that you sustained in your accident affected your ability to work, either temporarily or permanently, then the insurance company will need to compensate you. Compensation for lost wages can include both past and future lost income. In general, the amount of compensation that claimants are eligible to receive is strictly based on wage history and earning capacity, for instance.
Why is Mercury Refusing to Pay My Lost Income?
Unfortunately, insurance companies are not always fair. Insurance companies lose money every time that they pay out on a claim; therefore, they are often willing to go above it all to avoid paying out on a claim. In some cases, insurance companies deny the entire insurance claim, although they also deny just a portion of the claim. Although having the necessary documentation to back your claim up can increase the chances of your getting the payout that you deserve, some insurance companies can outright refuse to take your claim seriously and pay you.
Important Documents to Prove Lost Wages
What documentation do I have to show to get lost wages compensation from Mercury? This is a very important question. Primarily, you will need documents directly related to your income – including records of past income that show your wage history and records of new income after your accident (if you have gone back to work at a less pay). For employees, supporting documents can include paystubs, W2 forms, etc. For independent contractors, supporting documents can include invoices, contracts, bank statements, and 1099 forms, for example. In addition, you will need your medical records to prove the extent of your injuries and how your injuries affected your ability to work.
For more information about the different documents necessary to prove that your accident resulted in lost income, do not hesitate to contact the experts here at our law firm immediately. Our lawyers can help you prepare your case against Mercury to ensure that you are fairly compensated for lost wages.
Mercury is Refusing to Pay Me for My Lost Wages – What Can I Do?
If Mercury refuses to pay your claim even after you have provided all necessary documents that show that your claim is valid, you might be wondering what you could do. In cases in which the insurance company is refusing to make fair settlement offers during mediation, going through with the lawsuit is often enough to motivate the insurance company to settle. The claim is likely to settle before the lawsuit goes to trial. Unfortunately, this is not always the case.
In some cases, the insurance company’s refusal to pay out on a claim (whether it’s the full claim or just part of the claim) represents the insurance companies bad faith – or failure to handle a valid claim fairly. In these cases, insurance companies are willing to do whatever it takes to avoid paying claimants what they are owed, even if claims are solid. In cases of insurance bad faith, affected claimants can file separate lawsuits for insurance bad faith. For more information about filing a lawsuit for insurance bad faith against Mercury for their failure to pay you the lost income that you are owed, contact the experts here at our law firm today.
