How Much Does Workers Comp Pay for Lost Wages?
The short answer is that it depends on the injury, the type of job, the state, the employer, the company and the amount of the lost wage claim.
When you are injured, the insurance company will immediately investigate and hire adjusters to evaluate your claim. The insurance adjuster will determine whether the injury is work-related, which determines the rate of compensation. The insurance company will then offer you a settlement based on the facts of the case.
If the insurance company fails to settle, then you will be required to file a lawsuit. You will have to hire a lawyer to represent you and prepare your case. Your lawyer will have to conduct a fact investigation and discovery process to identify and document all evidence related to the accident and injury.
After the fact investigation, your lawyer will use this information to present your case to a judge and jury. The process of getting paid for your lost wages is a lengthy one. The insurance company will have to defend itself in court and it is not uncommon for a trial to last a year or longer.
You will be represented by a lawyer who is working on a contingency fee basis. This means that you do not have to pay anything up front. Instead, your lawyer will only get paid if you win the case.
The total compensation you will receive is determined by the jury and the judge. The jury will be asked to determine a lump sum amount for the pain and suffering and other losses, including your future lost wages. The judge will then reduce this amount to what he deems to be fair and reasonable compensation for your injuries.
The range of compensation for a personal injury claim is between $0 and $250,000 per person. The amount of compensation is usually higher if the injury resulted in death. For a free, no-obligation consultation with a workers compensation lawyer, call us today.
