If you have a Workers Comp injury, give me a call for help or if you were injured and want to make sure you get what the law says you are entitled to get, then get a free consultation by calling me at 312-500-4500.
Are you wondering what factors contribute to a big workers comp settlement? In this informative video, we delve into the key elements that can make your workers' comp case worth a substantial settlement. From understanding the severity of your injuries to proving liability, we discuss the crucial steps you need to take. Our experienced team of attorneys has successfully handled numerous workers comp cases, and we share our insights to help you navigate the process. With our expert guidance, you can maximize your chances of securing a significant settlement.
Each state has its own workers comp laws, influencing how cases are handled and the rights of the injured workers. For example, Texas has severe changes in workers comp laws that limit representation by attorneys. The value of a workers comp case is determined by factors such as the average weekly rate of pay, the seriousness of the injury, and the level of permanency.
The average weekly rate of pay plays a crucial role as it is used to calculate the compensation based on the number of weeks the injury corresponds to. The seriousness of the injury and the amount of treatment received determine the number of weeks the injury is considered representative of. The permanency of the injury significantly impacts the case value; more permanent consequences generally result in higher compensation.
If you'd like to know more, I created a FREE Injury Cheat Sheet that explains the things you need to know and do after an Injury. Knowing this info can mean the difference between winning and LOSING a case. And I offer it to injured people for 100% no cost and no obligation. Free.

Wow, what you been through sounds awful.. makes my injury look like nothin'.. but, the sciatica associated with the other injury is awfully painful & I lay on floor vocally expressing my pain & my dog comes lay with me & eventually, I "okay" again but, it is very painful at times & Work Comp don't give a shit & settlements don't consider this.. which is too bad😢

@buglove515 Год назад

I was an RN for 20yrs was injured at work, 7 surgeries later a permanently total disability. My WC settlement was maybe half of what I made in one year. I lost everything! My career that I loved. I stared college in high school, knew what I wanted to be from a very early age. I had worked for the same company for 17+ years in a highly specialized field. I had zero 0 write ups, never even a warning. I was in management but still loved direct patient care and was out helping my staff when I was injured. Also a mother of 3 young children. I now struggle each month to make ends meet and provide for my kids on disability and continue to suffer daily, awake at 2am because I'm hurting too bad to sleep tonight and most nights. I'm a shell of the mother, sister friend and daughter that I once was. I promise my settlement doesn't touch what I've lost and continue to lose. Idk who the people are out there "getting rich" off of workman's comp case's. I can promise you that they aren't RNs from Oklahoma!!

@DeSalvoLaw Год назад

You are 100% correct Rita. Worker’s Comp. is a compromise. You don’t have to prove that the company did anything wrong but your damages are capped. It is always better not to get hurt especially not to get seriously hurt. Even if you get a substantial settlement or trial result, it’s just not worth it. You may have several jobs in your life and several chances to file a workers comp case or sue somebody, but you only get one body. Your health is the most important thing. God bless you and I hope you and your family are OK.

@buglove515 Год назад

@@DeSalvoLaw Your absolutely right. You can get heart, liver, kidney, lung, face, uterus transplants but your spine and brain are one use only! I caution every health care work I come in contact with. I truly miss my job, I loved it so much. I continued to try and come back to work asap after each surgery. I got more and more limitations until I was told there was not a position that could accommodate all my limitations nor could I work with my medicine regimen. I have nothing bad to say about the company or ppl I worked work they bent over backwards to try to help me. I was at the point that my mind couldn't imagine at 38. I pay for every single thing I do with pain unimaginable pain. If it wasn't for my amazing 3 kiddos I would have probably given up and in. But for them I try I fail alot and I pray everyday that I can be 1% of the mom I used to be 😪. Thank you for your response and bless you for helping ppl navigate workman's comp it is very hard to navigate did sure!! Have a blessed day ❤️

I am a security officer for a hospital, I was attacked by a mental health patient when he went into a psychotic episode and decided he wanted to kill the ER doctor. I stopped him, but I didn’t realize he had a black belt in martial arts and he elbowed me in my left temple. Damaged my left eye, broke my nose in 5 places, and suffered a concussion. I have been treated like I’m scum of the earth by the workers comp insurance people, I was also told to return to work the following Monday before I had ever even seen medical provider for my injuries, while having a broken nose, two black eyes, and a concussion.

Missouri workman comp sucks . My husband got severely injured on the job in 2020 here it is 2022 (2 )shoulder surgeries later . One just recently in May and all this time only gotten two workman comp checks . He can’t lift his arm nave 40 degree , can’t wipe his behind has to use his left arm for everything . Now left shoulder having issues . We trace one way 110 miles to his doctor . No gas checks either. Our attorney has pushed just last month for back pay of workman comp checks again . But it took over a year for another surgery to be appoved . In that time he saw two other surgeons who stated his first surgery was a failed surgery so this second surgery took 4 and 1/2 hours to repair and he left with permanently restrictions. He 64 and can’t retire for at least 2 1/2 years so hopefully settlement soon as he will be discharged with Max medical improvement at 48% loss of shoulder . Workman comp offered 13,000 what a joke

@@DeSalvoLawWould like to sit down with you, and discuss your representation of my back injury. They say slight rupture to annual disk, but I am in absolute pain. Often at night (laying down) on any drive over 50 miles or just sitting and transitioning to standing. They've sent me to therapy and therapist says it's my piriformis muscle pressing against the sciatic nerve and causes the pain. I'm always in pain. They can't do injections because I am diabetic and it will shoot my blood sugar sky high risking possible serve conditions. To top all of this out, my company doesn't have a light duty structure, I'm a local truck driver who operates machinery while making deliveries. My company has paid or allowed me to receive the W.C. which I should be getting. Fell backwards out my truck 2/22 and nothing has helped. Bottom line is I am in need of a very good people's Attorney.

Hey I have a question, I been pushing carts at a grocery store in Pennsylvania, I was just wondering would would happen about nerve damage or tendinitis, bc last Saturday I was pushing carts until I got a sharp pain in my forearm, I was almost in tears because of the tension towards it, it’s from my finger to elbow and I’m getting check out tomorrow, I’m 17 and not sure what could happen, my forearm is bruised a little and my hand shakes when I move it down but not up, I jus don’t know if I could get work comp for this or not.

@jamesflynn10 Год назад

Man, if I could be 17 again… my suggestion, without being too harsh on you young man…is to consider toughening up a bit! I know this could indeed be a legitimate injury, but at your age, it should be just a minor problem. Go to the gym, eat right and nurse the injury properly, but unlikely it’s a serious problem you can’t recover from. When I was 17, I worked produce, bagged groceries, rounded up carts if asked to help, any time of year, rain, snow, hot sun. I later worked for a moving company and then joined the Navy…worker’s comp my fricken eye!!! Toughen up a bit, you’ve got a long life ahead and sure don’t want to be weak. Sorry to hear of your cart mishap though, try to be more careful going forward.

@DeSalvoLaw 5 месяцев назад

Ignore naysayers. If you felt a sharp pain, get to a doctor. If it is a strain, then it is nothing major. If it is something more serious you will be DAMED GLAD you followed up right away. Delaying treatment is the #1 case killer, and I talk to people every month who delayed medical care and it killed or really hurt their case. Insurance companies LOVE IT when people delay, because then, they argue "why did he walk around in pain for 3 months if he got hurt at work" and that allows them to win cases they should have to pay on. I have lots of ways to fix the damages, which is why I say "Talk to a lawyer right away! And never delay medical care!"

Then the Dr. Recommended back surgery fusion L5-S1 I get that surgery done back in December 2021 now 6 months after the surgery I'm still in pain and workers comp never approved a surgery for my shoulder that the dr. Recommended and requested from workers comp I'm still in therapy for my back pain. Do you think I have a good case?

At 16 I was in a very bad accident at work in Washington state covered by L and i. I have had 5 hip surgeries, and now going to have to get both hips replaced. I broke my elbow had to get surgery and remove a piece of bone. I have 2 bulged discs in my neck, 2 in my middle back, and 1 in my low back which is causing flattening to the spinal cord which I’ll be getting surgery on. And then a minor tear in my left meniscus. This happened when I was 16, I’m now turning 21 and still not done with all this. Any idea of what the end result may look like settlement wise or any other things I might qualify for? No one ever talks to me about it so not sure what to expect. Thanks for your time.

I’m sure it sounds like you have a lawyer. You have an absolute right to know what’s going on in the case and all that. Seriously. You’re an adult now. No one should hold anything back from you. Arrange for a face-to-face or zoom meeting with your attorneys. Write down all of your questions on a piece of paper before the meeting so you don’t forget anything. Bring the piece of paper with you and make sure they answer all of your questions.

I was terminated while on WORKER COMP. We are settling but I'm confused on how long they should have been paying for SDI. Should it have been up to the term date or the settlement date? I was sent home from work 10/2019 and forced onto medical leave. It expired which led to termination 07/2021. I had 0 income after 12 months of SDI from 2020-2021 then they started to pay workers comp benefits. But a whole year without any monies from anywhere and pleading for help with living expenses. I feel they should have penalties as well. Am I wrong? Im in CA.

So, here’s my question: I work in law enforcement for 23yrs & I’m 45yrs old. Last year april 20th I was sucker-punched by an arrestee I was fingerprinting. This sucker-punch broke my upper jaw, knocked out my front tooth, knocked the teeth next to my front out of Alignment, split my upper lip in half to the point where I had to get over 20 stitches in my upper lip. My jaw was also broken. After I was hit my body went in to shock instantly. My front tooth fell in to my Covid mask & then I put it in to the garbage can. I then went after the offender & judo tossed him across the floor. I held him down while my partner called for help. I broke my the “radial head” of my elbow as I was fighting him. The offender was able to get to his feet & he still attacked me even though he was covered in my blood. My partner watched me fight this guy for about 1min & 30 seconds after I was hit. My partner is a coward. He stood by & held a roll of toilet tissue as this guy tried to kill me. I have the video of the incident & my extremely graphic injuries. I’ve been diagnosed with ptsd & I just found out I need surgery on my back. I need anterior C3-4 cervical discectomy & fusion for the front of my neck & posterior cervical C3-7 back of the neck laminectomy & fusion surgery. I’ve been doing physical therapy for almost a year & nothing has help me. I just got the diagnosis on my back about 3days ago. I’m looking to have surgery in about a month in a half. What do you think my case is worth? I’m in chicago. My doctor told me I have over 300pgs of documented injuries. Thanks in advance. Also, I’m on Workmancomp & now I’m trying to get disability from the city. I’m currently dealing with Gallagher Bassett. My lawyer has given me no idea on the type of settlement I may receive. I’m also a detention aide & I work in the lockup of the 018th district. I was also diagnosed with a concussion

I had shoulder surgery and I’m not 100%, still have issues with heavy lifting, after continued use, 15-30 minutes depending on what I’m doing, I still have sharp pain and aches and fatigue and have to rest it. I did physical therapy and a 6 week work conditioning program which did help improve my shoulder immensely but again I’m not at 100%. This injury occurred in August of 21 and it’s now November of 22.

Hi. Long story short my husband had a 25lb industrial light fall approximately 30 feet hitting the top of his head. The cable broke and he was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. He did everything he was supposed to do. Was wearing the proper equipment ect. He sustained a buldging disc in his neck and also to the left of his L4 and right of his L5 S1. So 3 different spots total. He is scheduled to get cortisone shots in all places to see if that helps his pain. He also has pain shooting down leg and also middle fingers on both hands are numb. When he got hit he also possibly suffered a mild concussion because other coworkers stated he was not making any since when talking/explaining what had happened. Do we have a high dollar case by chance? And if so, do you possibly have a ballpark estimate by your experience and similar cases? Thanks for your time. God bless.

@DeSalvoLaw Год назад

The more permanent and serious, the injuries, the bigger the case. The more money you make per week, the bigger the case. I would say your husband stands a chance of having a substantial case. The bigger the case, the more you’re gonna want a lawyer to make sure you get everything you need. All the medical treatment. A lot of times the insurance company tries to cut the injured worker off and send them back to work too early. You don’t want that to happen. You need a doctor who’s on your side and a lawyer who’s on your side.

@DeSalvoLaw Год назад

Yes, they can examine you beyond the single part of the body in Illinois. Many times, shoulder pain comes from apinched nerve in the neck, for example. This is called referred or radiating pain and they want to examine and test the neck and shoulder to see where the source of the pain really is.

@@the_truth50 If you already have a lawyer, you should consult with him about it. If you are referring to your doctor, do not take legal advice from a doctor. If you got hurt at work, any body part, then yes, you can file a claim, and you should.

I just settled for 5,000 and after everyone else got there cut I was left with 2,500, My lawyer gave me the option go to trail, but said it will make more sense just to take the $2500, it was the only allowed for a left hip sprain I feel he could have did way better what do you think?

@DeSalvoLaw 2 года назад

Yeah man. Without all the facts and the details it’s hard to really say what’s up with that. If you can live with it and you’re ready to MoveOn then maybe that’s best for a hip sprain. A lot of lawyers look for the easy way out. The easy payday.

Can an employer fire you if you collect workers comp? When you fill out a workers comp form it asks you for your attorney info..if you don’t have an attorney yet, can you go ahead & fill out the form anyway & then when you find an attorney, give them the info?

@DeSalvoLaw Год назад

I did a video on this, but here's ther short answer: it is against Federal Law for them to retaliate against you for filing a Workers Comp case. HOWEVER...(There's always abut...) they can fire you for other reasons or made up resons unless you are in a Union or have a written contract. Some State laws on that are better for employees than others. In 'right to work' States, they can fire you for any reason and no reason. SOunds bad but they rarely fire people for filing a WORKERS COMP these days. Yes, you can file a case without a lawyer and yes, it is ok to tell them you do not have a lawyer yet. But this info may make them want to take advantage of you. IT IS ALMOST ALWAYS BETTER TO HAVE A LAWYER. Or at least to get a free consult with one.
