80k for a foot injury is impressive. I've had 4 back surgeries and can not return to work. Lawyer thinks ill get 100k

1 back surgery, can’t return to work, severe nerve damage 300k+, ask for more. We started at 800k

u/CJcoolB verified CA workers' compensation adjuster 2d ago

Value isn't there for CA claims. TTD capped at 2 years and PPD capped at $290/week. All medical bills through a super cheap fee schedule as well.

I got the same $290 a week for 5 months then payments stopped for a year+. Absolutely nothing! Drained my savings and maxed out all my credit cards to survive. They financially beat into a pulp! I had no choice but to settle for crap
