You are not "entitled" to any kind of settlement.  You are entitled to sue for damages.  If you and the employer decide to avoid the expense of going before a judge, you can ask for anything you want, however, the employer can say "screw you, sue me".  It just depends who blinks first.\n\nPractically speaking, though, it is usually based on the percentage of disability and what other, similar claims have settled for in your area.

Injury settlements are usually a reduction of the players actual salary agreed upon in their contract.  So whatever the settlement amount is determined - it will be applied toward the salary cap.  It has NEVER cost more for a team to pay a player a settlement than what they were going to play that player anyway.

It depends.  If you had a work related injury, then you must file a workers compensation claim.  If you are unable to work for and injury or a disability other than work related, than you are entitled to state disability benefits.

I'm unaware of any laws that restrict lowering pay for a non work related injury. You could go on disability (would probably pay more than half) if your doctor stated that you could not do your work. Im no expert , just a field of interest(workers rights)

There is no "equation" per se, but insurance companies generally try to pay no more than the "reasonable and necessary" medical bills, plus an amount roughly equal to or less than that for pain and suffering, unless you don't have a lawyer, then they try to pay even less. Plaintiff attorneys generally try to get all of the medical bills, plus 1 to 3 times the bills for pain and suffering, depending on the level of injury and the severity of the accident. There are many other factors that come into the "equation," like the type of witness a person will make, the reputation of the treating physicians, etc.\n\nYour best bet to "value" an injury is to do jury verdict research for the specific injury involved and factor in as many variables as possible.

I had a friend injured while engaged in a work related situation, and she went from regular employee to Worker's Comp.  If your husband has been turned into Worker's Comp, it's a different type of classification. They do have Worker's Comp attorneys and you might want to consult with one to determine your situation.

Ha Ha Ha, there isn't any Workman's comp. I was hurt for over a year, and I filed for Workman's comp because you have that right to, but they wouldn't pay for anything. The Deal is now since the president made the new you can't sue any one law. This was at the top of the list. The provisions only protect the companies from you the employee from suing them. You would only receive 2/3 of your original wages anyway. You will have to get a lawyer to pursue it, and they are going to take part of the recovery. This was the plan to keep people from filing. You would end up with nothing in the end, and most likely sued by someone over medical bills. I had to go on Medicaid to be able to seek medical help for my injuries, and not be sued by the hospitals and doctors. Crazy "HUH", I still haven't gotten anything from Workman's comp today. It has been almost 2 years.

You will have to use your medical savings account to pay for the uncovered dental expenses.  Workman's compensation will not cover gross negligence on the employees part.

depends on the injury, your attorney, and the jury--they will decide the amount.  If it is too outrageous, the judge can decrease it.

The amount you sue for has nothing to do with the income of the company. It is dependent upon your injuries and lost wages. If you have been permanently injured your lawyer should hire a life care planner to figure out the extra costs you will incur because of the injury. They vary according to the injury. Will you be buying and pay for repairs for a wheelchair? Will you be seeing more doctors and more often? What is your transportation cost to see the doctor? Do you have to move to a nursing home or assisted living facility. How many days of work did you lose?

actually I just had a training session on this, if your carpal tunnel is permananent they have to treat it as a disability, however if it is a temporary condition usually compared to a broken leg, then your employer is required to make reasonable accomodation for you. As far as other employers when asked why you need to explain. If you are the best qualified then you should be hired, I think you and the poster that was fired after the 12 weeks needs to contact the EEOC and have them do an investigation. Most companies do not want to have them involved and are ready to settle, also FYI if they are found negligible you are eligible for $300,000 for each incident.

You should file a workers compensation claim with your employer.

Ask the doctor who treated you; based on their knowledge of the injury as well as any information about the nature of your job (do you sit, or have to stand to perform it) they can give you an accurate estimate of the time required for you to heal sufficiently to return to work.

There are two different kinds of compensation regarding an auto accident.  The first being of course the cost of repairs or reimbursment for the value of your car if it is deemed "totaled".  The second being medical costs reimbursement.  The is contingent upon the extent of your injuries, recooperation time, lost wages, etc.  If the accident was not your fault, the faulter should be liable for all medical costs pertaining to your injury.  Beyond that there is pain and suffering reimbursment. I belive the industry standard "asking amount" tends to be 3 to 4 times the total amount of your medical bills.  These are all things, of course, that you should discuss with your attorney, insurance company, and family.

loook at the document which awarded you money and make sure there is no disclaimer stating that this is the only compensation that you can receive. next call a free consulation lawyer and see what he says.  most lawyers who work in personal injury charge a 33% fee and some will not charge you if they dont collect something for you,  good luck and good health

Did your friend tell the doctor/ER that it was a work related injury? Did he/she file a workman's comp claim? Call the state labor board and find out what can be done!

That would depend on where you live and the doctor and hospital you use.  Really need to talk to the doctor and ask his fee and how many days he would expect the pt. to be in hospital.  Then, call hospital and ask for person who can give you estimate of their charges.  If you have insurance, talk to insurance company first.  There would also be fee for anesthesiologist, x-rays, radiologist, lab fees.
