WAGE LOSS
The No-fault Act provides benefits for wage loss that are payable for three years from the date of the accident. The wage loss benefits may be up to 85 percent of a person's wage and salary or the current monthly maximum amount, which is approximately $5,700 per month, whichever is less. The monthly maximum in effect at the time of the accident is the maximum for that injured person for the next three-year period. However, the no-fault wage loss maximum is adjusted annually for inflation. The income that is recoverable is what you would have earned, not what you could have earned. It is also not based necessarily on the last year or even the last month's earnings. A new job, a promotion, and a new wage rate (if provable) is recoverable under no-fault insurance. No-fault wage loss benefits are paid at the 85 percent rate since the statute assumes a 15 percent tax
