I need more information about pain and suffering in a workers comp claim?

I want to know if I'm eligible for pain and suffering so what sort of things count as pain and suffering???

I've had to have a operation as a result of my injury and I'm left with about a 4.5cm scar on my tummy and I had to have mesh put in my belly also I've had a nightmare time with the insurance company I've had to ring them every day for the past 2 weeks for hours on ends trying to get my loss of wages off them which has been very stressful and upsetting

any advice most appreciated and thanks in advance xxx

No on pain and suffering , the work comp pays approx 2/3 of normal wage after a wait of 2 weeks and then pays back one week.
If you accept work comp unless there was gross negligence that caused the injury all you will get is the wage amount. In most States this is part of workers package in accepting the work comp rules as a condition of employment.
You could try to sue if the injuries cause long term change in your ability to work but chances are it will get turned down.
