Legal Question in Personal Injury in Pennsylvania

The value of his claim is driven by 3 factors. 1) How much he was making at the time he was injured. The higher the better. 2) How much he could earn now. The less he could earn now, the more settlement value the claim has. 3) The strength of the medical evidence that he has a partial disability that is ongoing and likely to be long term or indefinite.

It is impossible to give you a good opinion with regard to the settlement value without that information, and more. I have settled many WC cases for around that amount, but $25,000.00 is, generally, in the lower tier of settlement ranges that we see.

It also makes a difference whether the offer is to settle the wage claim or bothe the wage claim and the medical claim.

I would be happy to consult with you or your son further. Call me at 610.213.0606 for a free consultation.

If they offered $25,000, it's low, and your son can get more! It's impossible to determine how much more w/o speaking with your son to learn more facts. Your son should meet with an experienced work comp atty. Terry McGraw, who replied to your inquiry, is an experienced work comp atty. So am I. There are others who may be closer to your home--try Googling it. Feel free to call to discuss--no charge.
