person who had received statutory paid sick leave for the period that he could not return to work after sustaining injuries in a motor vehicle accident caused by the negligent and wrongful driving of another person, will not be entitled to claim a loss of income for the period during which paid sick leave was received from his employer.

Question

True

False

Answer 1

False. A person who has received statutory paid sick leave for a period of time after sustaining injuries in a motor vehicle accident caused by someone else's negligence can still claim a loss of income for the period they were unable to work. The paid sick leave received from the employer does not negate their right to seek compensation for any additional income loss resulting from the accident.
