My husband was injured on the job on March 19 of this year. He fell approx. 10 feet off a ladder, and landed miraculously on his feet. Unfortunately he landed on one foot, on pointy big rocks, and severely bruised his heel. He's been off work now for 3 months, was in a "boot" for almost the entire time, went to a podiatrist every two weeks, and went through physical therapy. The doctor only gave him a 2% rating, and the insurance company is only offering him $1,000 even though he was only paid 2/3 of his pay during his time off. He has lost at least $150 a week being off work. We were trying not to hire an attorney because we didn't want to drag this out. Does anyone know what a reasonable settlement offer would be? Help please, the bills are stacking up!!!
