How much money can a person receive from a work related injury lawsuit?
Answer
Almost certainly less than it will cost them to deal with the injury. So if it's a huge injury, a lot, but less than the cost of care, etc. If it's minor, then very little.
Answer
Employees who are injured on the job are normally required to file for worker's compensation benefits and may not sue the employer, so the recovery is usually less than in a non- work related lawsuit. On the other hand, it is easier to win a comp case.
Answer
WC has set schedules as to the value of injuries based upon the work restrictions caused by the injury. All medical care is provided and 2/3rd of salary with a maximum cap while temporarily disabled. You will get less than if you were able to continue working.
