Query: Is my settlement in workers' comp determined by an FCE?
Context: A Functional Capacity Evaluation can help your doctor determine if you’re ready to go back to work and what restrictions you might have. It involves performing a series of physical tests to determine your ability to work.
Your FCE can be a significant factor in determining your possible settlement amount, but is not the deciding factor, nor is it used in every case. If you’re asked to take an FCE and don’t already have an attorney, get a free case evaluation before you do anything.
