A cervical spine fusion is quite serious, and it can be worth a significant amount of compensation. In Missouri, the amount of compensation depends on the amount of wages you were making at the time of the accident, and the permanent partial impairment ratings that doctors issue regarding your condition. It is likely that the surgeon will issue a rating, and your own attorney will obtain a doctor's rating on your behalf. Ratings vary somewhat depending on how well you recovered from the surgery. With all of those numbers, your lawyer can determine what your case is worth. A future medical allowance should also be considered. Consult an experienced workers' compensation lawyer. We are here to help.
