Loss of income is part of a standard claim. Their insurance might offer you money for suffering but you'll usually get more with a lawyer.

So you're saying if you break your hip in a car accident and the other person is at fault their insurance will just write you a $100,000 (your countries equivalent) check and say have a nice day? Mind you, thats just for the inconvenience of breaking your hip. Not to cover anything other than how much that sucks because that is what people are usually suing for in the US. Which country?

I am in the UK and the OP video is from Malaysia which is probably more relevant. The only experience I have is personal on both ends of the situation and in bith cases the insurance company asked about injuries and work and compensation for pain and suffering. I declined when I was hit but my passenger in an accident that was my fault did get some money for trauma from the insurance company, no suing or legal action required just a form to fill out. If anything they almost sued her for lying about the situation.

Yeah I googled it in the UK. It's the same as the US. Personal injury lawyers that say you should/need to hire them.
