Re: best settlement structure

Without a competent workers compensation attorney you are likely to recieve no settlement at all. A herniated disk in and of itself is not worth anything. It has to do with your degree of disability, when you were injured, when you will reach maximum medical improvement, additional sites of injury, medical bills and other factors. I would suggest that you retain a workers compensation attorney as soon as possible. If you are in the NY Metro area then contact me.
