We’re frequently asked by new clients about the value of their workers’ compensation cases. The reality is, every case and client is unique, so a lawyer can’t assign a value without investigating several key factors. There are various factors that affect how much a workers’ compensation claim will be.

How much your case is worth depends on the specific details of your case, including:

– Your average weekly pay
– Your ability to return to work
– The circumstances of your injury or illness
– The cost of ongoing authorized medical care

The value of your case is based upon future workman’s compensation benefits. It is important that you are aware of these benefits because it is not uncommon for the insurance company to offer you a lesser amount then you deserve. These insurance companies employ insurance adjusters, and it is impossible to say how they will handle a case. However, hiring a dedicated workers’ comp attorney will give you a much better chance of obtaining the benefits that you deserve. You need an experienced firm to protect your rights and level the playing field.
