Neck Injury/shoulder injury

Neck Injury/shoulder injury
I'm in NY and I was wondering if anyone knew anything about settlements for neck injuries. I fell on the ice at work 2/07 and got a concussion. I"ve had headaches ever since and I had a 2 level anterior discectomy on my neck. I've been treated by all kinds of doctors for this and now i'm wondering if this is any kind of settlement for this injury.

I also hurt my shoulder (separate claim) same company and I went in for my loss of use today w/my dr. He said I'm at 25% loss. I"m sure the company will disagree since I have been working all along thru my trials of hurt.

thanks for any help you can provide.

Yes, there are settlement awards. it's up to you, or your attorney to settle for the amount.
