My Case took everything from me. I have 38screws, 4 rods, a bridge and a plate all Titanium screwed into my spine from my neck to my tailbone as well as an open shoulder surgery on my dominant side with my supraspinatus tendon 1cm separated for life. I was Awarded Total Perm for Life .... but every damn day I wish like hell that I was going to work. I lost my Freedom and no amount of money can bring it back. But I'll tell you what...I'm doing everything I can to live to 100 lol Its just a numbers game... we are just a number to the Carriers. I get it. However I will never budge on my counter to their offer. 16yrs on 2.2.25

Funny how they can't understand 50/50 when a judge determines that. That means they pay 50 percent back to workman's comp afterwards but they're too cheap to acknowledge what the judge says.

Hi, l am a FL resident. I was working when I fall from a ladder and I injured my dominant arm shoulder. I had a rotator cuff surgery and still receiving therapy, l still can’t fully lift my arm. l returned to light duty work with restrictions and only part time. Now , they scheduled a mediation meeting and possibly to offer a settlement though l don’t know the rating percentage of my disability. I do only manual work for living. How much do think they may offer? and is it possible to settle without evaluating my disability?

I didn’t know of your law firm when I got injured and had work comp. I did get an attorney and it was far more beneficial than I thought. When it came to settling my case, turns out there were back wages that I didn’t even know about that the insurance company was withholding, almost $6000 over the course of April to August. THEN the actual settlement, we negotiated for almost double what my attorney thought they’d offer. The insurance company just wanted to pay back wages and call it a day but my attorney saw through that and now when that check comes, I’ll be far better off. Not only that but I don’t think I had to cut him any fees because the other party was somehow responsible for his lawyer fees and everything. Either way, they don’t take much for the work and compensation you win.

Strange the worker's comp judge approved my surgery now the employer's insurance carrier filed an appeal to not have the surgery, and to my knowledge the judge's decision is 90% solid so I'm having surgery they say they will not pay but surgery is needed so I can on with my life. We will deal with the who is paying thing later.

I keep hearing that 99% of cases settle. I’ve been dealing with an SI joint issue and found more problems with my X-rays last week that my chiro found and my work comp doctor wouldn’t even look at. He just wanted me to get the injection that took 5 months to approve. It’s been almost 9 months and I’m curious why they are not trying to get rid of me? The mental and emotional toll this had taken on me is crazy! What are the main reasons they don’t offer to settle? In general? Im not in FL. I talk to my attorney today, but I’m starting to feel like another number in such a broken system. Is it stupid to say you just sent to settle? I’m not settling with no medical, tho. I think I’m just ranting bc it’s so frustrating and I never had any idea what a nightmare this is. Thanks for the video! Appreciate it. 🙏🏼

Settlement would be a one time payment where your case is closed forever in exchange for that payment meaning you would have to pay for all future treatment out of your own pocket and would get nothing other than the settlement payment (no further medical treatment or lost wages through work comp).

I’m not sure I understand your question. If you mean what is the lien that work comp has from the car accident settlement, that’s negotiated by your PI attorney pursuant to a case called Manfredo. Basically, they calculate your percentage of net recovery from the full value of your PI case and then whatever your net recovery percentage is, that’s the amount of what work comp paid on that claim they are entitled to recover out of your PI settlement.

Who ever agreed to the creation of this one way system in Workers Comp did a horrendous job negotiating on behalf of injured workers. It's as if the businesses and insurance companies paid off the legislators. First off in most states workers compensation is mandatory making this industry a major monopoly. The fact that pain and suffering especially for at least the most severe is not even considered is a tragedy. Same accident happens outside of work It's a definite, but working where your probably at the most risk and your not able to claim this 😮 Next is you can't sue the employer regardless of fault or not hence the workers comp insurance carrier. The Insurance carrier never has to settle your case either. Lawyers can't do much as they are handcuffed by the laws, so leverage is lost for the injured worker. The cap of benefits and loss of function is an insult to anyone severely hurt. As workers It's a blessing we are covered in the first place. The only portion that gets taken care of is medical treatment for life for the injuries sustained while working unless the state allows for the settlement of wages and future medical. So as you can see on just this generalization, the average worker is screwed if they ever are severely injured and can never work again, you'll get maybe 66% of your pay albeit non taxable but still a shitty deal when something not your fault happens and your permanently disabled. Unless you have a 3rd party case your not getting any significant money regardless of your injuries. Please become better educated and write to congress and get these erroneously and draconian workers compensation benefits updated and improved. Insurance companies have been making far too much money nickle and diming injured workers and businesses with their easily obtained monopoly ✌🏽🇺🇲

After some serious research your private health insurance will not pay for any surgery or treatment after you settle your worker's comp case work related injury/worker's comp insurance my attorney said that my private health insurance will pay for future treatment, false. Seek a second opinion, get all the facts, a few dollars is no insurance you are going to get treatment in the future. Get all the facts.
