what is the average workers comp settlement for bilateral carpal tunnel in georgia
15000 per hand at 20 percent disabled in ny state. thats what i got
That is hard to say because different states have different work comp laws and rules as to what is allowable and what's not. A lot of CTS is caused by non-workrelated factors as well, but if your case has been approved by workers comp then it Also will depend if the person has had to have surgery or not and whether there is/was in impairment or disability. If you understand all that then some with carpal tunnel syndrome are no entitiled to any settlement or lump sum...Others may be able to collect 15-30k..less lawyer fees of 20-30% of course. in west Tennessee what is the average settlement for carpal tunnel
There is no average settlement payout for carpal tunnel in Oregon. Each case is different because the circumstances are different for each person. It depends on how much future income would be lost.
It can, if work-related.
yes
10,000.00
Worker's comp does not pay for mental stress
I assume you mean carpal tunnel syndrome? Yes it can be, but it doesn't always mean disability as a lot of cases of CTS are from unknown etiology or it can be from non-workrelated causes. In the U.S. anyway, If it is proven to be caused from work and your work comp state laws are applicable and you miss work due to the condition then yes you may be entitled to some kind of disability pay.
You would have to get a Doctor to confirm that you have a disibility and then talk to a lawyer that specialises in medical cases. A lawyer will tell you if you have a case or not and maybe arrange an out of court settlement. I'm no lawyer but I have a friend who just settled a case for carpal tunnel syndrome and he got $60,000 and will collect $500 a week for as long as his recovery takes.
40.000
