If you are at fault in an auto accident your insurance company settles a claim against you for "all damages" the settlement should include wage loss. In most cases your insurance company will have the injured party sign a release of all claims. The settlement and release would prevent the injured party from making any further claims against you. I would contact my insurance company to find out if there truly was a settlement of all damages and whether or not a release was signed.
