Injured on the job, (State of Washington), large employer self insured

[rockr]

Jurisdiction

Washington

In late May 2025 I suffered a "right proximal tendon tear" (Right biceps: "Popeye" deformity), at work; (my right arm is my dominate arm). The large wealthy company that I work for is self insured. I had been previously wrongfully terminated by this company, and reinstated with full back pay and benefits, (so my relationship isn't the best).

The surgeons are not willing to repair my injury, and I have tried to force the issue). I have not any problem performing my very simple duties at work, but: my personal life is ruined. I can no longer water ski, use my chainsaw to manage my wooded property, or many other things I have always done in my previously active life.

Question: is there a range of disability assumed with this type of injury, and a level of monetary compensation to offset this life long major injury? If so, what is the range, or where can I find this type of data?

I have been assigned physical therapy, as the muscle will never be repaired, my dominate arm only has one of the two muscles attached, and is badly deformed.

Thanks in advance for any help I get.

You received some excellent advice down the street, and I am posting a link to that thread to avoid a repeat of already provided guidance:

Each site has provided me significant and different information, (that seems valid).

Not sure what this means since the only two responses you've received here are references and a link to your post at the other site.
