Legal Question in Workers Comp in Missouri

Re: A round figure of what kind of settlement is expected out of a 360 spine fus

It is impossible to answer your question definitively without a bit more detail. What level/how many levels were fused? Different levels cause differing amounts of disability.

In what part of the state do you live? Judges' awards may vary geographically, although they should still be pretty close.

Are you able to work now? If you are considered permanently disabled by the law, you are entitled to payments for life.

Finally, what were your wages or salary at the time of injury? In general, Workers' Compensation pays a percentage of the body part injured- the back is rated at the 400 week level- so that the degree of disability times 400 weeks times your compensation rate gives you your lump sum.

If you were hurt through the fault of another, you may also have a claim outside of and in addition to your workers' compensation claim.
