I have a claim againts workers comp in nevada for lower back surgery any idea how much my settlement will be?

Answer 1

Please see the first person who answered this question and stop being so greedy.  Work Comp is NOT a cash cow that rewards you for being stupid enough to get injured in the first place.  It is a system designed to assist the injured worker get medical and lost wages when injured and  to get back to work as soon as possible.  In some states,  any settlement is based on wages you are able to earn after your injury, so if you are earning your full wages, you will NOT get any settlement even if you had back surgery.  If you are not able to return to work, any settlement you get will not enable you to be a slacker and retire for the rest of your life, so stop wondering about any money you will get, worry about getting back to work after your surgery, cause no settlement will set you up for life.

Answer 2

The purpose of WC is to cover medical expenses and provide temporary "lost wages" money in the event you are injured on the job.  It is not intended to be a money tree for you to fleece.
