A. it kind of depends, where you do live? Also, is it irrefutably the other guys fault, I mean can any of the blame be put on you? And are you looking for restitution for loss of income or just payment due to emotional stress or whatever it is called? And if you are also looking for restitution for loss of income, it all depends on what you normally earn.

carpal tunnel settlement amount?
Q. Hi! the company doctor just confirmed that I have carpal tunnel syndrome. I will have surgery performed on both hands in two weeks. Since the Injury is caused by my job, How much should I expect to get paid by my company's insurance? Thanks

A. I think they will just cover your medical expenses related to the injury -- doubt you'll hit any jackpot.

Can anyone tell me how to go about getting a settlement from a Workman's Compensation claim?
Q. In the past, Human Resource personnel failed to inform me that I was due a settlement, but I heard through personal contacts, after it was too late, that I could have been paid a settlement for carpal tunnel and a ruptured spinal disc. Anyway, that's spilled milk, but now I have incurred another injury that will require surgery, and I would like to get everything that is due to me. Any help would be more than greatly appreciated.

A. If you have an accident at work, workman's compensation will normally pay for any medical bills soon after the forms are filled out. However if it is not obvious that the injury was work related, you will likely have to hire a lawyer to assist in your workman's compensation claim.

Would you please pray for me (please see details)?
Q. This is not a dire situation. Actually, I am grateful to God that things are going relatively well for me.

law: insurance company wants to settle for injury, how do you know how much to ask for?
Q. my brother got injured on the job due to faulty tools and now has bilateral carpal tunnel and pain/ tendinitis in right arm/ hand, (2 years) the insurance company wants to settle with him but he does not know how much to ask for, is there a formula used to come up with a cash settlement amount?

A. Well, you don't. You can ask your agent for an opinion, but it's all about negotiations, etc. With workers comp, you DON'T get pain and suffering. What they'll figure out is his percentage of permanent disability, and loss of future earnings due to the disability ( if he's close to retirement age, it's going to be next to nothing). PLUS, if you're settling for future medical, a guestimate of future medical costs.

A. If I've ever heard of somebody who needs to talk to a lawyer it's you. An employee driving a customer car while on business means that that business is liable and likely the employee as well. There are simply too many parties involved here to be trying to understand all of your options on your own. Most attorneys will offer a free consultation and take a case such as this on a contingency fee basis. If they loose, they get nothing. If they win, they get a third. Funny how everybody hates lawyers until they need one. You need one.

A. the best way to get an answer is to consult an attorney that specializes in worker's compensation. they will not be able to give you any idea until the dr. releases you and decides what type, if any, permenant restrictions, and permenant impairment rating your dr. assigns. you may also be entitled to a second orthopedic opinion under the law, if you are not satisfied that the first one is being essentially fair to you. the insurance carrier will likely offer you money to close your right to any future medical expenses. i personally think it is rarely a good idea. however, if you have problems with your wrist later it will be hard to get the carrier to step-up. see someone who really knows the law. dont just get any sorry lawyer in the… [cont.]

Q. I am a Massage Therapist. On April 20th, after forcing myself to do the massages I had scheduled, I went to the ER because I was in so much pain and had a lot of swelling (My thumb and palm were swollen like a balloon). The ER Doctor told me that I had Tendinitis and the beginning stages of Carpal Tunnel. He slapped a cast on my arm and told me to get a Workers Comp case filed and fax them the information. I went to work the next day and spoke with my manager, she told me that it was my responsibility to file with the state. I didn't think this was the case, but whatever, I went to the website she told me to go through. Sure enough, the STATE website said that it was the Employers responsibility to file.

For future reference, the employer always files the claim, you as am employee fill out an injury report at work and go to the doctors under workers compensation. The lawyer is at the right place. This is how they get people to drop workers' compensation cases, they refuse to file the report, accept responsibility, put it on the employee to prove it was that job that caused the problem. The employee usually goes broke and looses most everything before they start getting any benefits. No they will not take the car into consideration when they settle your case.
