Workmans comp.Settelment

My fiance gallops horses for a living. The horse he was on stopped abruptly and threw him. The horse stepped on his face and kicked him in the jaw. Breaking it on both sides. His initial surgery wasn't successful as one side was too badly damaged and one of the plates broke. His second surgery turned out the ''best it could'', according to his dr. His jaw didn't heal properly and now he has a different line or bite. There was too much bone damage to reconstruct. His employer didn't turn this in to w/c for 3 weeks after the accident and has never spoken to him again. This happened in june 2007. His jaw was wired shut until october. The w/c dr. Released him in dec. To go back to work. But he was out of a job by then. His employer no longer needed him !! And he was finally found a job in jan. Making 1/2 of what he was at that employer. Also lost his original full time job do to the injury and was never comp. For any lost wages from that. This man has gone from making 800 wk to 200.00 since this injury. Had his jaw wired shut, lost almost 40lbs. Of his 150lb. Build and now the w/c is offering 7500.00 settelement. How can this be fair???

Need personal injury/ workers comp. atty NJ

I'm looking for an attorney in NJ for a rather complicated workers' comp. claim for my husband. Not sure if he would qualify for a personal injury settlement. He was a scientist for a private company and suffered an exposure to a chemical that has left his lungs permanently impaired. (He now has asthma-like symptoms and cannot work in the science industry any longer.) It's an unusual, very dangerous chemical, but I have information on it that I can forward to you. The injury occurred 2 years ago in May (he kept a diary at the time and so knows the exact date) and he has had to switch careers to become a high school teacher. We have moved to TN, but the company was in NJ. We need an attorney who is available to speak by phone possibly in the evenings or to correspond via email. Thank you.

impairment ratings

I have an impairment rating of 19 for total body and an impairment rating of 32 for the left upper extremity. what does this mean, and what is the difference - I have a peminent impairment of 19% - What does this mean all the different percentages?

Is this considered a raise?

If I receive a base pay weekly and also work off of commission. Would it be considered a raise if I was paid a base pay for my weekly pay plus commission. Meaning I receive 200.00 weekly and I made 250.00 in commission. I would not have to sale to make the 250.00 in commission. I will just be making 450.00 weekly without having to sale. Would this be considered a raise?

back/neck injury

I had a chair fall on my back at work and was imediatly sent to a small clinic by my employeer. they said nothing was wrong and sent me on my way, now 3 days later I can not move my neck, shoulders, or arms. The question I have is, am I entitled to get a second opinion through a physcian of my own choice, will work mans comp pay for it, and can a chiropractor be a primary physcian in california.
