No attorney can give you an honest appraisal of your claim's settlement value without making a much more in-depth assessment of the facts. I don't know if it's what you want to hear or not, but the insurance company isn't going to offer you fair settlement value unless you're represented by an attorney. Moreover, the insurance company isn't going to adequately ensure your rights are protected while settling your claim. I can tell you that workers' compensation claims are valued very differently than personal injury claims. Pain and suffering, for example, really don't enter into it. Retirement If you already have an attorney, you should ask that he or she sit down with you and go over your claim's strengths, weaknesses, an the pros and cons of settlement. If you don't have an attorney, I highly recommend you get one. In Pennsylvania, workers' compensation attorneys typically work on a contingency basis, which means they get paid based on a portion of what they get you. If you don't have or know an attorney, I'd be happy to speak with you over the phone regarding your case and perphaps give you a more detailed answer.
