In a car accident 14 months ago in western colorado.Police report said I was not at fault & will not pay damages or lost wages.

Hard to tell from the facts presented.

Lost wages must also be supported by a verification of disability from a physician who links the injury caused by the accident with the inability to work for the period of time that the wages were lost. Without a physician's statement that you were unable to work for the period that you were out, the lost wages are not going to be reimbursed as part of the accident claim.

My personal injury clients call and ask me questions all the time and also ask to come in to review case status. Call, go see the attorney and in a cool calm rational manner aks for an explanation as to what is going on with the lost wages, the medical bills, and also the ultimate bodily injury settlement.

Good luck.
