How much should I get from the at-fault drivers insurance if I spent three weeks unable to work?

An injured party may recover lost earnings from the at-fault party's insurer company.  Proving them may be challenging, especially for self-employed persons.  It is important to keep a good employment record.  Lost earnings or wages are usually calculated from the time of the auto accident through the last pay period by multiplying hourly wages by the number of hours of work.  They are usually recovered in direct relation to time off to recuperate from an injury stemming from a car accident or to obtain treatment.  Typically, several factors are taken into account: 1) the injured party's work history; 2) the victim's pre-injury physical condition; 3) the amount that the injured party would have received had his or her injury not taken place; 4) the consistency of the victim's work; and 5) the likelihood that the injured party would have continued to earn wages throughout his work life.
