Michigan Workers Compensation Settlement Calculator

In general, there is no specific way to calculate a workers compensation settlement in Michigan.  It takes years of experience and years of negotiating with insurance companies.  Michigan Workers Compensation Attorneys and Insurance Companies have general rules they follow, but no specific way to calculate a work comp. settlement.  The general rule is a lump sum settlement between 0 years of future workers compensation weekly benefits and 6 years of future workers compensation benefits.  Of course there are always exception to the rules and we have had many settlement in excess of 6 years of future benefits.

1.  We must calculate the weekly workers compensation benefits and if the insurance company is paying you the right amount.  Often they do not.  You must look at discontinued fringes, the last 52 weeks of wages, the average weekly wage rules etc….  It is a complicated matter and usually requires the eye of an experience workers compensation attorney in Michigan.

2.  We must look at the cost of future medical expense, if any attendant care is necessary and many other factors that the workers compensation insurance carrier may not advise you of.  The Law Offices of David Zimmerman has handled thousands of Workers Compensation Settlements in Michigan.

3.  We must look at your medical records in great detail,  and any IME reports or reports generated by insurance doctors which usually benefit the insurance companies position.

4.  We must look at many factors regarding when you stopped working, if a doctor has taken you off of work, if you have restrictions or are completely disabled and for how long.

5.  It is a detailed process that requires an attorney and years of experience to get the largest lump sum settlement possible.  Please contact the Law Offices of David Zimmerman for your free case evaluation regarding a Workers Compensation Settlement in Michigan.
