How Can You Get A Huge Worker's Compensation Settlement?
What does it take to have a worker's compensation claim that is worth more than $100,000? Typically these injured worker's have injures that are of a permanent nature that prevent them from performing any type of work that they are trained to do. These injured workers often have undergone surgeries on their necks, backs, hips, shoulders, and knees. Often these claimants never fully recover from their injuries and often require on going treatment for the foreseeable future. Some of these injuries unfortunately result in permanent injuries which negatively impact the injured worker for the rest of his life.
For non-catastrophic cases the injured claimant is only entitled to weekly income benefits for 400 weeks from the date of accident. For Catastrophic cases the injured worker is entitled to weekly income benefits for the rest of their working life.
