Because there is no standard settlement for DBA cases, they realistically depend on numerous factors, including the types of services needed, how much income has been lost, and how long the recovery time might be. This all makes it nearly impossible to calculate an exact number, but here are a few methods of calculation currently used by the DBA:
- for as long as they are on medical leave, employees will receive two-thirds of their weekly earnings;
- income that has been lost in the time the employee has been out;
- the severity of injuries and the cost of medical care;
- cost of psychiatric services and how greatly an employee’s mental health has been impacted.
