The short answer is no, or at least not in any practical sense. Your employer provides you with paid sick leave as a benefit. If you use some or all of that paid leave while recovering from injuries from your motorcycle accident, those benefits are not available to you in the future to use if you catch the flu or something and have to miss a few days of work. Because of that, the value of any sick days you have to take as a result of your accident would be added to your damages and be part of any compensation recovery you receive.

I am the founding partner of Brauns Law Accident Injury Lawyers, PC. I only represent plaintiffs in injury cases and only handle personal injury claims. This allows me to focus solely on personal injury litigation and devote myself to helping injured residents in Georgia recover fair compensation for their damages.
