Workers compensation pays lost wages while treatment and recovery are occurring, as well as paying the medical bills.

You should consult with a plaintiff's personal injury lawyer for a complete evaluation of your case, including your injury, pain and suffering and damages.

If you injured it at work, then your exclusive remedy is worker's compensation and I wouldn't know since you were very limited on details.

Cases are not exactly settled like merchandise on a shelf, but worker comp comes close. You will get your medical bills paid. You will get 2/3s your average weekly wages up to a cap, holding back the first week, and you will get a small stipend for any degree of permanency when your treatment is finished, just guessing, maybe 10 or 15%.

Worker's comp covers medical expenses and time out of work. That is the limit of recovery as against the employer. Depending on what caused the accident, there may be another possibility, if there some party other than your employer who caused the accident, such as a janitorial company or repair service. Accidents that occur on construction sites or car crashes during the course of employment have particular rules as well.

The question is simply too general. Workers' Compensation benefits are paid for temporary disability (unable to work due to the injury) and permanent partial disability. Since I cannot tell from the question how long you were off work and what, if any, permanent residual exists with the elbow after treatment for the injury, I am unable to provide a meaningful answer to the question.

Answer: As much as the case is worth. There is no schedule of benefits for broken bones. The case is valued based on a variable of factor too long to list in this Q&A. I'd suggest you see a personal injury lawyer.
