Hello "WC Forums Helpers"
I've recently been released to work. "Light Duty", so now I have the occasional chit chat with others, as well as others chatting with me. The talk is now in regards to how I will go about settling my WC Case. NOTE: I understand it's tough to tell someone how they're WC Settlement will go, complete and settle (for everyone has a different case).
Injury Summary: I have a middle finger injury to the tendon, which required surgery, was out of work for 10 weeks.
Question: I'm not asking for what I will receive in cash, not at all!
I'm asking if I will receive "open medical" for life.
I spoke to my Uncle who had knee surgery over the 4th of July vacation and he stated to settle with "medical for life", I really would like that considering, you never know what could happen. Now chatting here and there I was told thru an "unreliable source" and the grapevine that NYS doesn't offer medical for life anymore? Is this true?
Main Question: Does NYS still offer injured workers "medical for life" in the settlement?
Any clarification of this misunderstood thought would be greatly appreciated.
GOOGLE IS NO HELP!
Thank You in advance.
