What happens if I’m not able to work from a motorcycle accident claim?
Part 7 Accident Benefits provides disability coverage if you were working at the time of the accident and were totally disabled for more than 7 days and your disability started within 21 days of the accident if there is no other coverage. The amount payable is 75 per cent of your average gross weekly wage up to a maximum of $300 per week or $145 per week for homemakers. Part 7 benefits may include a Graduated Return to Work Program on case by case basis for an motorcycle accident claim. For more details, visit BC Laws.
If you were unemployed on the day of the accident, you may still receive benefits if you worked for at least 26 weeks in the year before the accident. Part 7 benefits are available if you were self-employed or work part-time. If you are self-employed, it is extremely important you maintain records to measure losses as soon as you are unable to work. Your motorcycle accident lawyer can help with your Part 7 disability claim, as well as past wage loss and future wage loss to be covered under third-party liability.
