  1. Well, I imagine that the injured is currently undergoing some kind of medical treatment. If so, continue the medicl treatment as long as needed– I would say that the proper settlement should be atleast double the medical bills. Most importantly if this position has caused 100% disability, working there should stop if at all possible, if anything should be a a light duty status.

  2. One, there is no maximum settlement, indemnity is based on residual
    impairment once you have completed treatment, and been rated for
    partial/permenant disability. The WC laws are state specific. In
    most states, IF you are declared 100% “disabled” under the comp
    definition, you would continue to receive the weekly benefits as a
    life pension. You cannot force a lump sum buy out of the claim.
    Two… any restrictions you have due to your injury are on YOU, not
    your employer. You are charged with only performing those tasks you
    know to be within those restrictions. Not your employer… Three…
    If you are 100% disabled due to your work injury, you should NOT be
    returning to the same job and/or job duties. So, I doubt you are
    are 100% “disabled”… Three… indemnity due to impairment is NOT
    paid at twice your medical bills. WC benefits are limited, and set
    by law. You cannot sue your employer for more money than the law
    allows for your injury.
