FACTORS THAT DETERMINE THE VALUE OF AN ATHENS GEORGIA WORKERS’ COMPENSATION CASE
When we look at a potential workers’ compensation claim, we look very hard at several factors to determine what the case is potentially worth and what benefits our clients are entitled to. Some of these factors are:
- Average weekly wage before the injury
- Date of injury and how long benefits will potentially be available
- What the work status of the client is (full duty, light duty, no work, etc)
- Does the employer have any light duty work available?
- Are the injuries permanent?
- Are you currently receiving temporary total disability benefits?
- What is the cost of medical treatment in the future?
- Is any back pay owed?
- Does the case have the potential to be deemed catastrophic which entitles the claimant to lifetime benefits
Once these items have been evaluated we will have a much clearer idea of the value of the case and how to handle it going forward. This will allow us to tell you if the settlement offer is fair and sufficient or not.
DON’T SETTLE YOUR CASE TOO EARLY
Sometimes clients come to us with a settlement offer. After we evaluate it we can determine whether or not the timing of settlement is proper or not. If there are medical procedures that need to happen, then often settlement is not a good idea until after this occurs. These are things to discuss with your workers’ compensation lawyer.
