PA Workmans Comp Settlements
Some recent settlements of mine:
$170,000.00 for PTSD and back injury
$125,000.00- post-concussive syndrome
$160,000.00- multiple injuries
$75,000.00- back injury
$15,000.00- back injury
$80,000.00- back injury
$75,000.00- back injury
$25,000.00- back injury
$50,000.00- shoulder injury
As you can see, settlements range in scope. The amounts depend on many factors -the most important of which is loss of earning power. Other factors include whether a petition is pending, whether objective findings support the subjective complaints, average weekly wage of the employee, whether an IRE has been performed, whether a Labor Market Survey has been completed, extent of injury, credibility of doctors involved, whether future medical treatment is needed, etc.
Note: Pain and Suffering does NOT apply in Pennsylvania Workers Comp. Fault/negligence is not an issue. Earning power is the focus.
