What is the Highest Workers Comp Settlement?

What is the Highest Workers Comp Settlement? Or How much is the average workers' comp settlement? Based on a national survey (unfortunately it was based on all 50-states and not just Michigan), for injured workers without a lawyer, the survey found the average compensation for a work injury was $18,000. The average workers’ comp compensation was 30% higher for those represented by an attorney. Injured employees with a workers’ comp lawyer received an average of $23,500.


In Michigan, the Workers’ Disability Compensation Agency publishes the average amount of redemptions every year. The average for redemption in 2022 was $62,315.56. This would include those settlements that are nominal (an example is $1,500) to settlements that are over $1,000,000 (cases that are very serious injuries and involve very expensive medical care, such as quadriplegic care.


The average redemptions in Michigan over the last three years are as follows:


2022 $62,315.56

2021 $63,313.86

2020 $59,235.42
