ok I severely dislocated my knee in 2011.. since then i have had pt and 2 surgeries.. realy not much improvement.. and my other knee hurts all the time since its over compensating..
ok so my question is this.. my doctor told me that he wanted to permanent ans stationary me and told me that it would help me in the long run.. but he also released me to work..modified since i cant do the same job..
today i received to letter in the mail..1 said i was being terminated and the other says there going to pay me 2345 estimated disability and that these payment will be deducted from any award i receive?
the doctor told me also that the insurance company is going to try to settle for some thing small, couple of grand.. but i need to push for life time medical.. and retraining in a different field of work..
so any advice from people that have been thru it? and whats the normal for a settlement on a knee injury? and can i push for medical on my other knee.. i dont want to give a sob story i just want whats right.. but i dont know what that really is and i dont know if i should try to find a lawyer.. because i cant afford one.. so any advice would be a big help..
