How long did it take to get the IME results back. So I did not know that if your injury gets worse in a few years that you can have another rating and settlement.
So after I receive a settlement for my injury, if i get worse in a few years, I get re-evaluated and get another settlement if worse?

I thought in your first post that your settlement was for 25%? So was it 25 or 30, and what is your injury that it was so high? Just curious. Is it your back?

You know I find the AMA guidelines to be truely amazing in how they do PIR ratings. I get put at 19% for loss of my dominant hand. I can not do anything with this hand without my meds. I have to take them as soon as I wake up so that I can get dressed and brush my teeth,shower etc. each day, and I felt that was a low rating for what it has effected in my daily living, and to have the IC think that the rating was to high and had me have a IME exam to lower it.
I would think that a domiant hand loss would be alot higher than what i was put at. I would love for them to tie one hand behind their back for a week and see how hard it is. Even typing, I have to always stop for a bit to type a sentence.
