what compensation can i expect for a broken arm sustained at work?

Question

the employer has accepted 75% of blame

Answer 1

Cost of medical bills not covered by insurance and disability.

For more than that or to sue the company for negligence, etc., you need to contact a labor lawyer who needs to review the specifics of the case to make a dollar determination.

Answer 2

As long as it occurred at work and you were not intoxicated or under the influence of another illegal substance Workman's comp should pay your medical bills, lost wages (usually a 7 day waiting period) after that it is retroactive and normally goes back to day 1. Your normal health insurance usually does not pay for a Workman's comp injury. It should not matter if you were negligent. Comp should cover it regardless. We all have accidents and that is what the comp is for. You have to report it to your employer who in turn will report it to the comp carrier. From there an adjuster will contact you. Some companies have their own in house nurse. Depending on what state you live in you will probably have to pick a Dr. from a panel of 3. Keep track of your mileage and any other expenses related to the injury and submit this to comp carrier as in most states you are entitled to get reimbursed for this as well. Just don't think you hit the lottery. A broken arm is minor and usually does not leave a permanent disability. Even if you get a slight impairment rating- payment will not be much. Once you are healed the w/c Dr. will determine if you will have a permanent disability rating and you are paid based on a formula which in most states will have to be approved by the court.

Answer 3

It is entirely dependent on the circumstances. I broke my leg as a result of Negligence by a Local Council. They accepted full blame, but ater went back on their acceptance and said i was to blame. The reason for this change of heart is that new laws have come into effect setting out a maximum amount of money payable in the event of an injury. This amount is roughly £2000 per broken bone, plus loss of earnings and any other expenses that may have arisen. However, i was only offered £1300, for two broken bones in my leg. So it will all depend on how good your solicitor is, how much they are willing to pay to keep it out of court, and how much blame they are willing to accept.

Answer 4

in your work place when you signed the contract did they ask or tell you about the insurancepolicy if they did then your work or company should or will give you worker compensation in where they will pay for the medical bill either half of it or the whole bill it really depends on what kind of policy they give you either way you will be compensated i don't think money wise but through the incurred bills for your treatment sometimes you don't even gotta pay a dime they cover all your medical expences but this is under one condition if you or your work place signed you up for medical benefits which every job out there have some kind of benefit. hoping i helped you a bit. God cares and loves u. feel better.

Answer 5

The employer has agreed to make u whole. That means u get workers comp. plus the employer pays your medical. IN some states u cant sue unless the employer knowingly put u in danger. that means they knew in advance u could be hurt on the job & did not warn u. thats hard to prove on your part.. Also u are 25% responsible. ,So that hurts your case a little. good luck.

Answer 6

depends if u were negligent if it not the companys fault u dont get anything, if its recorded and the company are negligent u cud get thousands but becareful of paying legal fees, just cos they say no win no fee its not free, the courts cud order u 2 pay the other sides legal costs if u lose
