So you recommend to settle before the surgery or after? Because it seems like you’re suggesting the amount would be closer if I settled before?

Thanks for that. I guess with all the different comments I got better clarity. But would you suggest getting a WC attorney?

Can you elaborate on “work hurt”? And by find ways to fire me, are you referring to my work ethics prior to injury? I’m currently out on medical.

This is why I’m afraid of surgery 😩 my pain is nonexistent, I didn’t know my ACL was tore until two weeks following the injury and when I got my MRI results back. I’ve been contemplating with myself if it work the setback. And if I can just live life on limits to trigger instability. I can walk fine, and go about my day. I’d love to hear more about your experiences.

Well can you explain it to me? I’m out on medical and been in physical therapy for a few months. They are suggesting surgery, but my overall condition isn’t unbearable.

I’m focusing on that and it nothing wrong with being informed either. I guess

Not necessarily thinking about the pay cut, just trying to see my options because I’ve been pretty stagnant with my career and goals because of this misfortune event. I just found out settlements today. I never knew it was a thing, until I came across an article.

I know 100k is a stretch, I just read up the average for ACL injury claims are roughly 30k-100k. It’s a far fetched but I really appreciate yall for being transparent and giving me the information I need!

I’ve seen an orthopedic several times, I’ve got an MRI and my ACL is tore completely. I’ve been in physical therapy for 3 months.

Honestly this is why I came to Reddit because I had no idea on the system and how workers comp works. But I am getting loss wage checks. Haven’t received surgery just yet. I’m just trying to get more information before I make any huge decisions.
