The determination in workers' compensation is based on the wage rate history and the part of the body injured. A proper recommendation cannot be made without a detailed review of the medical records. What is more important is that settling may be a mistake in your situation regardless how good an offer you get as it would close out rights that may not be addressed through the settlement and which possibly can be preserved. What is absolutely clear is that you would be making a significant mistake proceeding on a claim involving this type of injury, with its likely impact on your entire future, potentially locking out your rights, without an attorney involved.
