The insurance companies that defend these claims don't give $$ away for free. $40k in my jurisdiction would be in the upper 1% of all workers comp awards (my educated guess). There is a reason they settled this claim for that kind of scratch. Either the guy is a really good con artist or his injuries are more serious than represented.

Ask anyone walking out of court what happened, and 50% of them will tell you they got royally screwed. Maybe they did, maybe their perspective is a bit skewed.

As a law professor of mine used to say, "justice is what the other guy gets when you lose."
