The answer depends upon your state. In NY an 11% permanent
loss of use should give you money immediately, minus prior
payments and/or payment of wages, and is based upoon 2/3 of
your established average weekly wage. This is worth about 34
+weeks of benefits prior to the deductions. In NY you have
18 years from the date of accident to reopen for money, if
there is further deterioration, and lifetime medical rights.
