When dealing with workers’ compensation cases in Bristol County, there are 3 things to factor to help determine the worth of your workers’ compensation case.
Workers’ Compensation Factor #1: The first issue that influences your case’s worth is your average weekly wage.
Workers’ Compensation Factor #2: What is the compensation rate? In other words, what will your insurance company pay per week, for total or partial benefits.
Workers’ Compensation Factor #3: The final factor is how much has your insurance company paid thus far?
In terms of this final factor, in general there’s a cap of 7 years in benefits. For example, you could have 3 years of total benefits, and 4 years of partial benefits. Ultimately, the value of your workers’ compensation is determined by how much your insurance company has paid thus far.
Exceptions for your Massachusetts Workers’ Compensation Case: There are, of course, exceptions when it comes to determining the value of one of our clients’ workers’ compensation cases. If, for example, you are deemed to be permanently – or totally – disabled, then the value of your case could be much higher.
