Workers' Compensation Discussion Forums

My husband got hurt at work. He is a pipe fitter and got a hernia at his belly button. He meets with the surgon next week for surgery. My question is as follow. He has not loss any time from work for this injury. After he has surgery next week he will go back to work the next day. As you may relize he is just supervising and not pulling pipe. Will WC offer him a settlement on his case or will he have to ask them about it. What is usually the pay off for a injury of this nature?

Thanks for any insight

none if he doesnt lose time or wages at work

They will pay for any future medical for it if he needs it right?

yes medical is covered and disability if necessary.
