Work Comp Settlement Part 8
This week we will look at the 8th factor in determining the value of your Illinois work injury settlement or award.
Illinois law provides that the age of the injured worker at the time of the injury is to be used as a material part of calculating the value of an award.
The Arbitrator will decide whether a younger worker who suffers from serious injuries and has a longer life to deal with ongoing pain will deserve a higher award or settlement.
The Arbitrator will decide whether an older worker who suffers from serious injuries will be in a worse situation because of advanced arthritis, pain or other conditions of aging.
Arguments can, and should, be made for enhanced value in both situations.
