What is the average Carpal tunnel surgery settlement?

Answer

The average carpal tunnel surgery settlement,will depend on a few things.

1) Has your case been proven to be caused by work?
2) Different states will have different work-comp laws, so how much you are entitled to if anything will depend on the laws in your state. Search for your state governments website under work comp section for details...don't rely on lawyer websites.
3) You need to have an impairment rating from a physician who is trained and certified do give such ratings.
4) The average settlement can be anywhere from 15-30k...keep in mind that figure can vary, depending on the above and also whether you opt to have "open medical"..i.e. You usually get less up front money but you can continue to recieve medical treatment "free" for this condition,Versus "closed medical" You get a bigger up front amount but you are on your own if further treatment is needed.
5) Finally your lawyer gets his/her cut usually 20-30% off the top.
6) Sometimes it's better to work with your employer and reach some type of agreement/settlement per your states work comp laws.
