If a truck hit your car in California and you have not worked since, you may be able to recover your lost earnings. Chris Kreeger explains that compensation can cover past and future lost wages along with medical bills and pain and suffering. Pay stubs or average monthly earnings, multiplied by the time missed from work, help prove that loss.
Chris Kreeger on Recovering Lost Wages After a Truck Accident

The way that’s proven is by looking at your pay stubs from before or your average monthly earning prior to the accident, and then multiplying that by the number of days, weeks, or months that you missed from work after the accident.
