How Much Your Case Is Worth?
For most cases, the value of your settlement primarily depends on how much money the Workers Comp Insurer is going to spend on your claim if they fail to settle with you.
Generally, the more money the Insurance company is going to have to spend on things like your future medical care and weekly checks, the more they’ll pay you to settle your case.
For example, if your workers comp doctor reccomends you have surgery, the Insurance company may offer you a bigger settlement to avoid having to pay the cost of your surgery.
Here are just a few of the key factors our lawyers look at when evaluating cases for settlement:
- The cost of your future medical care
- The value of your future weekly workers comp checks
- The value past-due workers comp checks Workers Comp failed to pay you.
- Permanent injuries and the potential value of your Permanent Partial Disability Rating (PPD Rating)
- Out of pocket medical expenses you incurred because of your work injury.
