I am just curious, I currently have a case against the company i work for. I have had a microdisectomey and i have had the fusion surgerey. I am a married man with 2 kiRAB. I have an attorney i have yet to discuss money with him, so can anyone give me a ballpoint figure i am looking at, Just looking for a little help before i ask my attorney
 
Much of that depenRAB on (1) the amount of income you made prior to going out of work (2) the % disabled the WC company determines you are (3) the potential future costs of medical care, unless those expenses are to be covered under a separate agreement (4) the amount of potential income loss due to your condition. (5) a variety of other factors as well

A good WC attorney would evaluate these, and other factors, and then discuss with you prior to negotiating and accepting any kind of settlement.

If you have been out of work for more than 5 full calendar months you should consider applying for Social Security Disability Income. SSDI will subtract from any monies due the amount you receive from WC. But if WC should end you may then be entitled to more SSDI monthly. For more information on this go to www.ssa.gov
 
By the way, I highly recommend Dr. Jack Perlmutter in Barrington (if you need to consult with an Orthopedic Spine Specialist). He did my L4-S1 fusion back in 93.
 
good luck i'm going through the same thing for 2 1/2 years now. mines a little different though we don't get workman's comp. Are you currenlty permantly disabled or are you going back to work. how your back doing and what doc did you use i'm with Dr. Lorenz in hinsdale and he's one of the best. let me know your time off, if your able to go back full duty or partial and i can give you a way to get a ballpark figure. good Luck!!
 
I plan to go back to work, I dont know if i will have a disability or what. I am dealing with DR citow in libertyville.
