Q: I filed a workers comp claim on hearing loss, I had an independent Audiology hearing test and the findings were 31.3%
Binaural hearing loss, I'm 55yrs old and make about 1000 a week..Rough guess about what I should expect from workers comp. Never filed a claim before...Thanks
A: You should really consider reaching out to a lawyer sooner rather than later, as WC claims can be very tricky, and the chances of a more favorable recovery go up dramatically with a lawyer. The calculations are based on statute, but the ultimate determination as to a possible award hinges on several factors. Feel free to reach out to any lawyer on here by clicking the contact information next to their name. Most lawyers, including myself, offer free consultations to see how we can help.
