When you talk to Daniel, he can tell you if your injuries fall as scheduled injuries. What does this mean? As Daniel has advised our clients in the past and he’ll advise you, that means there are limits to what will be paid or how long your benefits will last. That’s the practical significance.

Now, it’s very common for our clients to have unscheduled injuries. The most common is probably a back injury. Why is a back injury unscheduled? Because it can be anything from a minor twinge to lifelong disability. There isn’t just one set amount for that.
