How Much Compensation Will I Receive for My Injury?
The amount of workers’ comp benefits you receive will greatly depend on the severity of your injury, the extent of the medical care you need, how long it takes you to recover, and several other factors.
For example, your compensation may range depending on whether you are dealing with:
- Chronic dislocations
- Biceps tendon tears
- Wear and tear on the tendons or ligaments
- Multiple shoulder injuries
- Rotator cuff tears or other damages
In the case of chronic dislocations, you may only be able to recover compensation if your most recent workplace accident caused the dislocations or led to a previous condition becoming more severe. However, if you already suffered from chronic dislocations and simply experienced regular symptoms, it may be more difficult to qualify for worker’s compensation.
Shoulder injuries resulting in surgery are fairly common in Workers' Compensation. It is also common to have shoulder surgery done for several different procedures resulting from the same injury, including repairing a torn rotator cuff, repairing a torn labrum, performing a subacromial decompression, and sometimes repairing a torn biceps tendon as well. This is a complex surgery, and doctor choice is very important when undergoing shoulder surgery. This is important so that the surgery is done well, and also so that the doctor chosen does not release the injured worker back to light duty or full duty work too soon, or with too low a permanent impairment rating.
The insurance company will want to choose what doctor will perform your surgery, and often they may pick a doctor favorable to them with return to work and permanent impairment issues. Typically, it takes six months to recover fully from shoulder surgery, while "company doctors" may return you to work more quickly than that.
In other cases, the amount of compensation you require can depend on whether you need a shoulder replacement, rehabilitation and therapy, or other treatment methods. Unfortunately, even the most minor shoulder injury can result in lifelong physical pain, making it difficult to return to your previous work status. That is why it is so crucial that you obtain the fair benefits you need.
