wrist with 11 screws, 6 months of grueling physical therapy, and still have constant pain and reduced range of motion (I am still unable to make a fist or do many other things). How long do I wait for a final settlement offer from my employer?
Just as there is no requirement that you settle your Workers' Compensation claim, there likewise is no requirement that the employer/carrier settle. Theoretically a case could last for the rest of your life and a Judge of Compensation Claims can never force either side to settle. This, however, is seldom the case. Most claims end up settling at some point or another. There are a couple complex issues and factors that go into first deciding whether or not settlement is a viable option and secondly, and more importantly, what an appropriate amount should be.
