Your case is worth the medical expenses to treat your condition and your lost wages while you are incapable of working.

If it is a workers compensation claim, there is really no way to tell without knowing our comp rate (2/3 of your average week wage), what impairment rating the doctor has assigned, and how the injury affects you vocationally.

If this is a comp case it is a mathematical computation based on your average weekly wages, the time out of work, what the doctor says by way of permanency.

Value of a personal injury case depends upon a number of things. Not only your obvious serious injury, but how good the liability is. Your attorney surely must have discussed this with you, and if you've forgotten or have not had an update, discuss it with your attorney.

Were you injured at work? How did the injury occur? A regular PI case has to be filed within 2 years of the injury. The value of a case is different in workers compensation than in a regular PI case. Sometimes, the same injury calls allows both cases to be filed. Be careful how it is done. I do not do workers compensation cases but I handle the personal injury cases where the injury involves third parties. Please contact an attorney for a thorough consultation.

It depends on percentage of disability given by an QME/AME independent evaluator and type of future medical treatment you will need.

Every case is different and there are facts that need to be evaluated that you have not provided. I suggest that you contact a local injury attorney for a consultation.

As has been stated numerous times hereon, every case is individual and depends on a myriad of variables to make an educated guess as to value. It is in your best interests to obtain a free legal consultation with a local Michigan lawyer who regularly handles your type of case for a detailed review of all relevant factors before your question could be professionally answered. Don't you owe it to yourself to get a reasonably based answer versus a shoot from the hip answer on a forum where lawyers have to guess how you were injured, who may be responsible for causing same, etc.

If you have a permanent injury, you may be able to get a "schedule award" which is based on a formula depending on the extent of your disability and your rate of pay, offset by payments you have already received. But you should get some advice as to whether the schedule award is your best option. Depending on your situation, you may be better off getting disability payments and having your medical expenses taken care of.
