Post: settlement? work comp

Posted by brian, bdmolloy@yahoo.com, on 11/23/02
I had a corneal transplant in my eye in 12/01. I was released to full duty by my surgeon and my opthamologist in 2/02. I went to work for a company out of AR in 3/02 and in 9/02 I fell off of my truck at work(I am a driver) and re injured my eye. My doctor says that I may not ever see well enought to pass a D.O.T. physical again(20/40 or better). Before the accident I was seeing 20/20 on good days and 20/30 on bad days. I have the company's own Doctor saying that I had 20/20 the day they gave me a pre-employment drug screen and physical. I will never be able to drive a truck over the road again, do I have a case and what would be a reasonable settlement?
