Compensation for work accidents varies according to the severity of the injury. Degree of impairment, how long the effects of the injury are likely to last, time off from work, and total expenses incurred are all factored into the equation. Generally speaking, the more serious, long-lasting, and disabling the injury, the higher the settlement will be.
Settlements are also determined by a claimant's ability to perform the same level of work as before the injury occurred. Medical benefits are awarded based on what the claimant must pay for medical costs according to a physician's assessment.
The objective of compensation is to provide the means to restore a worker to his or her condition before the injury occurred or to compensate the injured party for losses that can't be undone. Applebys' mission is to secure the highest possible compensation package for every client we represent.
