Description: This video discusses how the length and value of a workers' compensation claim largely depend on the severity and duration of medical treatment. From simple injuries to long-term cases spanning over a decade, each claim timeline is unique.

Video Transcript:

Workers’ compensation claims settle based upon the treatment a person needs. If a person has an ongoing injury or multiple surgeries, needs multiple months of physical therapy. The average workers comp claim could take say 16 to 18 months with a simple injury that needs, say, one surgery and return back to work. I have a person who had been on benefits for 17 years on workers compensation benefits.
