Just from my own experience with wc and a RSI/TOS injury - mild & manageable now that I'm not working, with expert chiropractic care and my own self care.

I had a so so hard to get a hold of wc atty, and I still got 30k.
the limit for wc atty here is /was 22 or 25% but topped at 5k.
so you might check your state website for details on your % and limits.


I do think if you will need ongoing pain control and injections - 30 k is low low low...

My negotiations was supposed to be a hearing , got there for the hearing and my atty says how about nego for a settlement - he hadn't even discussed anything either way so I was stunned.

He essentially said one of my drs wasn't a very good with the evidence - they had interviewed the wrong dr! and not my ongoing treating dr..
So I was more or less messed over , and my atty admitted he had blown a disk and was hurting and on meds so he wasn't up to snuff either.

So I said OK ask for 50k ( thinking - I've been off work for 2.5 yrs already) - always ask for way more than you expect...but not an outrageous amount .

so anyway it ended up at 30 or 32k. atty got 5k of it for not much work...

Run some numbers /scenarios and see what you come up with for totals
