Legal Question in Workers Comp in California
How much is this lawsuit worth? The AME gave me 55% whole person impairment on my workers comp injury, for my lower back.

In addition to your disability rating, you are entitled to future medical that may include surgery that can be expensive. There are other issues like apportionment that can change the final rating. If AME doctor recommended surgery $100,000.00 is a reasonable settlement demand. To get maximum settlement, you need an experienced attorney.

The percentage of disability is also adjusted for age and occupation [which you may have already taken into account]. You should see several WC attorneys who specialize in the area so you can ask them if they can get you more money and about how much more.
