A workers comp settlement usually covers the cost and expenses of medical care for ONLY the awarded injury. It does not address, or augment with supplemental income, any time that must be used to treat the condition.
If your Workers' Comp claim has been accepted by your employer's insurance carrier and your surgery is approved by the carrier, you will receive a portion of your salary as compensation for lost wages resulting from the surgery (both for the procedure and recovery time until the treating MD has released you to some form of work). That portion varies by state but averages around 2/3rds of your average weekly wage.
Workers' compensation insurance pays for any medical treatment required for an injury suffered in the course of employment. It also provides replacement wages if an employee is off work due to that injury. The amount of that payment varies according to individual state statutes.
The state of PA for workmens comep. Is considered a nofault state. Once they receive the claim from your imployers,the co. that you worked for is nolonger involved in paying you your salary. You should receive 66 and 1/3 of your salary,considered lost wages. You need to be off of work for at leasted one week before you start receiving workmen comp. checks.
If you mean "sue" your employer for your injury while receiviung WC benefits, then the answer is NEVER. The WC benefit you receive is all you will ever get, and no lawsuit is possible, even if employer negligence is clear.
Yes. But there is no harm in asking more questions while your there. However, insurance companies don't like to pay for more than what they are required to.
