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

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.
