In an auto accident, you can claim all damages that resulted from the accident itself, as long as they were forseeable. Here, if you lost your job because of your injuries, then yes, you can claim not only lost wages but think like in workers' compensation cases, you might try to push for more. Talk to your attorney about all of your damages and see what he or she thinks in terms of possible recovery and strategy.
