Assuming that there is no apportionment and your permanent disability rating is correct, 20% percent impairment is equivalent to $17365.00 in California. If you settle the case with a Stipulation Award with future medical open, the payments will be made at $230 per week for 75.5 weeks. (most insurance carriers pay bi-weekly so the checks typically will be $460). The numer of weeks changes if the carrier has already advanced you some PD.
I have no idea if your husband’s insurance will be enough to cover your medical needs due to the fact:
1.) I do not know what medical needs you have nor did you indicate the future treatment provisions stated and outlined by the AME.
2.) I don’t which health carrier your husband has nor do I know their policies. Each insurance company has their own rules and regulations.
If you want a lump sum settlement for a buy out of everything, that is called a Compromise & Release. How much that is worth is dependent on the value of the permanent disability and future medical. Since I have no information on what the AME states is your future treatment, I can’t even guess the range of this type of settlement.
Good luck. Hope everything works out.
NO…It would be extremely RARE for your personal health care
provider/coverage to cover treatement to a work related injury. IF
you are paid for future medical expense, you will have to prove you
have spent all of that money before Medicare/Medicade will pay
when/if you become eligible. If you have future medical needs, you
should not close the benefits in your comp claim.
