My auto insurance co. pays me 80% of my gross lost wages per month up to a max of $2000 per month. My question is how many days does the insurance co. use to calculate a month?

It's the amount of earnings in the particular month being claimed. It does not matter the number of days... it's the gross for that certain month.

How the lost wage will be calculated for only couple of days work lost? Supposing that you are receiving your paycheck twice a month, how the insurer would compute the lost wage then?

Take the loss wages that month and multiply by 80%. If the amount is less then $2000, that amount is paid.

The month time frame only comes into play for the $2000 limit per month. Other then that, a month time frame does not matter.

How often does an auto insurnce co usually pay out lost wages...i.e. once a month, twice a month, or other.

Okay, so the max you can get towards your lost wage is $2,000, right? If the lost wage is well within the limit, it would be paid but once the amount is over the threshold, you'd get only $2k towards it. Is it how it works? or I did get it all wrong? :?

I searched over the internet...and it seems it could also be done on a weekly basis. But, I'd rather suggest that you go through your policy clauses and check it out! Steven

Thanks I have been trying to find out how often I should be receiving my lost wages from my insurance company. I have checked the internet, my policy papers, and other places and have come up with nothing. I asked the adjuster but she will only talk to my attorney and when I ask him he says she didnt call, or that she did and left a message but did not discuss that information. As it appears it is only once a month that I will get my lost wages.
