Re: Wc back settlement
If effect, you're asking what's my injury worth in order to make a long term settlement with the worker's compensation carrier? Given the various factors which you've mentioned(and some, perhaps, that you've not), I would recommend that you arrange for a consultation with an attorney who is knowledgeable and experienced in Virginia worker's compensation law with particular regard to the settlement of claims such as yours which apparently will involve long term treatment and therapy.
