Answer:

A study showed that generally you are looking at between 15-30k..keep in mind it depends on your specific states work comp laws and you have to prove an impairment and get a rating from a specialist. This impairment may prevent you from obtaining other jobs in the future. You will also have to take 25-30% off of your total awarded amount to give to your attorney. Aquiring an attorney may be necessary but it can often delay things with your company by several years. Some states have gone to a mediation type thing where lawyers are not involved in hopes of speeding up the years of back logged court cases.
