settlement after surgery in Arizona workers comp cases
Settlement after surgery usually raises sharper value questions because the worker now has a clearer record of invasive treatment, recovery, and possible permanent limits. In Arizona workers compensation cases, the real question is usually whether the claim is medically and procedurally developed enough to value intelligently.
Quick answer
