First, I know that an attorney could best answer this, but
being in Alaska....they are few & hard to obtain & after
many hours of online search I'm still in the dark. Almost
two years ago I injured my knee @ work & have had multiple
surgery's since, lncl. menisceotomy(failed),acl recon,
medial meniscus transplant & osteotomy, which now have
seemed to have failed,(only thing holding my leg together
is alot of metal and screws) & now Dr. talking more
surgery. the IC has been ok thusfar, having approved all
procedures & has retrained me (although in a field that
does't touch my previous income. My concern is that my
understanding here is that WC only pays me for two years
(in AK.)With more surgery I will surpass this and cannot
afford NOT to have some income & currently unable to walk
unassisted,let alone work. 2. What kind of WHOLE BODY% can
I expect (roughly)for a PIRating, if anyone has had
similar exper. At one time my Dr. guessed @ 6-13% whole
body, which only equates to 10-17k, which sounds low to me?
Thanks for any help!
