I was injured in Montana last August and had right knee
surgery in September. I've collected temp disability up
until my impairment raiting. I was not receiving any money
for over 2 months and was running into financial problems.
I was told by the dr I was going to receive a 3% bonus for
my injury on top of the rating. I recieved the settlement
which was only 3% and felt that the dr did not go through
the proper procedures to determine my rating.
I did sign the settlement but was very aware that this was
not fair becuase I needed the money very bad.
I would like to know if I can seek a second opinion and
see if my injury is actually a permanant disability as the
dr stated during the rating.
