Hello all!
Here's my situation. Injured in May 08 was released by doctor in Nov. 08 but subsequently received a letter from employer saying I was being terminated. So I never returned to work. Being injured, I was unable to find a job. Who's gonna hire someone who can't lift anything above 5 lbs? Ha! Well, Feb 09 I was released by Doc to full duty. But I no longer have a job with the aforementioned company. So insurance still pays me weekly. They are now seeking a compromise and release.
My question is how does this go with the judge and lawyer what can I expect? They are offering three months but in this economy and situation I feel I need a longer amount of time to be re-employed, how do I go about proposing this? My injury is a torn rotator cuff which more then likely will happen again. I have an uncle on his third repair. How do I handle that on a compromise and release? Can I ask them for more money in this situation? Can I ask for compensation to be 6 months to a year? and How do I propose to do this, will the judge ask me if I think this is fair?
Any help you can give me will be appreciated...the hearing is tomorrow morning and it's got me a bit nervous!! hence going online to ask for advice. Thanks to anyone who posts!!
