I was in a roll over with my ,supervisor Jimmy,coworkersJosh,Chance and myself Cecilia,we were heading to Montana from Wyoming to do a job . The front passenger Josh kinda shouted Jimmy and I asked if he wanted me to drive and he said he was fine and that he wasn't tired. A mile or so outside of Hardin Montana ,Josh said it again and we started spinning out of control and started to roll. I have had 2 surgeries my entire cervical from C2 down to my I think it's down to my T5 is fused ,I lost a big portion of my teeth fractured my left eyesocket and snapped my right ankle in half.
Thank you for this I just had a lamina removed with minimal invasive surgery I was told by the doctor that 20 to 40% of reoperation from 10 years from now is needed because I still have herniated discs this really sucks their surgery has me all whack on the head I hope my case is worth a lot I'm going through a lot
I have permanent disability partial injuries. Had my L4 L5 S1 lumbar spine surgery and my right hip too. Work compensation since 2019 and still open case. And I still experience severe chronic pain and also 3 disc replacement.
I'm sorry you are still having pain. Your case would likely have significant settlement value. It would be important for you to have good health insurance in place before closing such a case as you may have significant injury related expense into the future. Jim
I fell on an icy dock, and it caused me to have a torn meniscus. Surgery is planned in 2 weeks. Subsequently I have traumatic PTSD . The adjuster has denied my PTSD. I have been out of work for over 3 months with no pay. Does CT WC recognize PTSD?
Right dominant shoulder off of work for 2.5 years now with 3 different surgeries all in same shoulder which one was bicep tendon relocation. Limited movement and not claim has added major depression and anxiety. Also now having flow over to my left shoulder as well as limited movement getting out of bed I herniated a disc. Looking to get the left shoulder and disc added on
Hi, I live in Tennessee. I fell off the back of my work truck, striking my head causing a fractured skull, severe concussion and a brain hemorrhage along with a deep black left eye.. It's been a month since the accident. My neurologist says initially I should be able to go back to work Aug 1st.. I've had alot of side effects and life changes.. What do you think a good starting point in my settlement would be.. They don't want to do surgery
@Jerry Best advice: lawyer up early on. Worker's Comp is designed for the employer not the employee. I had a a very violent PTSD claim in 2016 (WA State). It took five years to resolve. They did everything they could to deny my claim and sent me to endless dr.'s (their "hired guns"). I got a lawyer early on and it paid off. The appointments subsided and the harassment of me to telephone in also stopped. In the end WA L&I has a lifetime pension award (Most people including myself was unaware it even existed). Once I was able to get my case in front of a judge it was a slam-dunk! I got backpay of $91K (after paying attorney fees) and a monthly check tax-free of $5777. You have to take charge of your claim and do not talk to any "friends" where you work, supervisors, or HR. They will work against you and they will also surveil you. Lawyer up early and let them do the heavy lifting.
My name is anthony just turned 59 I got hurt at work got a laminectomy done it failed got a rating of 21% Now I saw a specialist he recommended Anterior/posterior lumbar fushion it’s my 2month from surgery and iam feeling all that better will my case go down on my original 21% Will it go up.
With the fusion, you PPD rating, and the settlement value of your case would go up. Thanks for watching. If you're in Connecticut and need help, reach out any time.
Ever since I had my Lumbar Injury I haven’t been able to work 2 full time job 😒 like I did before the Injury beyond Piss because after the injury I can’t Reach a full financial stability
Hello sir. I got injured September 2019 I haven't worked since My injuries. I have already done lots of injections for the herniated disc for a year. And after that I get disectomy and it didn't work on December 2021 I get a fusion L5-S1 surgery and now the pain is back and for this 3 years. A Dr. Have been recommended surgery on my shoulder but that surgery workers compensation never approved. And the Dr. For the shoulder put me also on 100 % desability and in the same paper he wrote. That I can't return to work till my shoulder is ok. But workers comp. Seems like they don't care about it. Do you think I have a chance to get a good settlement? I used to make 18 bucks per hour 50 to 55 hrs a week I was working for that company for more than 8 years
I had a partial rotator cuff tear in my master arm 3 cervical disc L3 to 5 the insurance company was refusing to get me an mri of my lumbar spine so I got the mri through my insurance I have 5 blown discs in my in my lumbar spine which my lawyer presented to the judge and now the judge wants my testimony .. and I want to know why he wants it and is this a positive or negative?
It sounds like your jurisdiction does things a lot differently than we do in Connecticut. I would follow your lawyer's advice. If the Judge wants testimony, then that is certainly going to be required to move your case forward.
Hello I have a question. I hurt my shoulders at work. the doctor says my Slu is 50% for the left and 30% for the right. Also I need shoulder replacement surgery for both shoulders I make 130k a year. what would you think a good dollar cost settlement might be.

Fairly common scenario. Tying in the other body parts increases the value of the case, but may be a fight. Seems like a good case.
Thank you

I’ve been on workers comp since 2016, 3 surgeries, arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome and a bunch of pain I’m still on workers comp.
Good case to settle and apply for SSD
My name is anthony just turned 59 I got hurt at work got a laminectomy done it failed got a rating of 21%
Now I saw a specialist he recommended
Anterior/posterior lumbar fushion it’s my 2month from surgery and iam feeling all that better will my case go down on my original 21%
Will it go up.
With the fusion, you PPD rating, and the settlement value of your case would go up. Thanks for watching. If you're in Connecticut and need help, reach out any time.
Had surgery already now they burn that nerve...will the saatica still come back?
That would be a question for your doctor. Hopefully the nerve ablation was successful and you will be pain free going forwards.
thanks
Going to have surgery(fusion)L2-S1in thre days :(,what I do expect sir? I live in Upstate NY, Thank you
Hope it goes well! That is a medical question which I am not qualified to answer.
Ever since I had my Lumbar Injury I haven’t been able to work 2 full time job 😒 like I did before the Injury beyond Piss because after the injury I can’t Reach a full financial stability
Some states do allow for income from both jobs to be included in your comp rate. Check with your lawyer.

I used to make 18 bucks per hour
50 to 55 hrs a week I was working for that company for more than 8 years
How's your case going?
Im sorry for your injuries. If your case is accepted, then that would be a high value case
File for ssdi
I have to get neck fusion I have to get back fusion I made 80 grand how much you think I can settle with compensation for can you give me a rough idea
If compensable, that would be a very good case. Too many unknowns to predict without more information. I'm, sorry.

350k to 400k if you get good lawyer
It really would depend what State you are in and whether or not your case is "accepted" or not.
I got punched in the head on the job .by a shoplifter I’m not the same now . Should I settle my case. I been out of work since 5/26/2020 .until today
If you are at a medical endpoint it would be a reasonable time to consider settlement.
