Will I get compensation for pain and suffering in a worker's compensation claim? |
 |
There is generally no benefit available for pain and suffering, although you may be entitled to a lump sum for the percentage of any permanent disability that you may suffer. Often called “permanent partial disability,” this rating is given by a doctor according to your state’s disability formula. The actual dollar amount of the settlement will depend on several factors such as the doctor’s findings and your income at the time of the injury.
Each state has different rules for workers compensation , so it is best to find out which rules govern workers’ compensation in your state to determine the benefit calculations. |
