There are several methods to determine what non-economic damages are owed to the victim of an accident at work. One method is to multiply the economic damage (such as medical bills and lost wages) by a multiplier. The severity of the injury and its duration determine the multiplier. It may vary from one case to the next.

Another option is to utilize the per diem calculation that places an amount of money on each day of a person's pain and suffering. This is especially useful for victims who have suffered permanent injuries that will impact their lives for the rest of their lives.

Damages

Workers compensation settlements are a typical way for employees to receive an amount of money. They can be paid out in one lump sum or as an organized payment plan according to the type of injury and the state's laws.

When a claim for worker's compensation is accepted, the insurance company will provide a specific amount of money that is specifically designed to pay for medical expenses and lost income, as well as specific damages that are incurred due to an injury.

An attorney will determine the amount of money a worker could have earned if they were not injured, in addition to the cost of future medical treatment which will be required in order to maintain their health as well as household expenses. This helps the employee receive an amount that is fair and will allow them to get forward with their lives.

The injured person can also request an additional lump sum of money that may be used to pay for non-economic damages such as suffering and pain. However, this extra compensation is not offered in every case.
