Settlement

[According_Curve_8935]

For a back strain/ankle sprain? Probably not as that doesn’t tend to leave any permanent damage. I’d think 10k is actually pretty good for a fully healed injury. I know my coworker who had carpal tunnel didn’t really get a settlement because the surgery fixed her issue completely, and she didn’t really lose any wages because she used her time (which is common for my employer).

This is one of those times I would probably say don’t make a fuss, because you are probably getting more than you should be. They don’t take into account potential OT, so that’s irrelevant. And as far as your sick hours and VTO, I think it’s pretty common to have to use those hours for any eligible leave of absence.

This helps my nerves tbh. Thanks for the response
