Hi To All....
I 'm here in florida and i'm a volunteer firefighter and i do not get paid for being a firefighter anyway i was in a car wreck about 1 year ago going to a call in the fire truck(voluteer trunk). Here in tallahassee the way thing work is that the county volluteer fire department give aid to the city firefighter , every time there's a call we fall under the city of tallahassee worker comp....I had wreck verses a train and i broke my knee and over the year i had two scope done on my knee and about 5 shoots for pain and now the only thing that can help me is a knee replacement cause my cartli. has formed artheritis.I do not know my MMI yet .. Now the city say that they will settle if i leave employment with them, but i do not work for the city and the volunteer fire department is under the county and is a non-profit department, so can the city make me leave the volunteer department? I've been with the fire department for 7 years and this's the first time i filed a claim. I put in 7 years of my free time and got a book of state cert. also state firefighter, and if i leave the fire department i loss everything...Is settleing a good thing to do? I have a lawyer on this case cause i have a personal injury suit with the railroad company....
