When it comes to settling a Workers' Compensation claim, it is a unique process and very different from sexual discrimination, motor vehicle accidents, slip and falls, etc... Unfortunately, the difference is that pain and suffering, loss of consortium, or how the accident changed your life, are not considered like they would be in the above mentioned types of cases. That being said, It seems as though the numbers mentioned in your question relate to being Permanently and totally disabled. These are unique and complex situations as Am sure you are coming to realize.
