Hello, I'm new to the forums but was looking for insite on my workers comp case. I was injured in 2003 and left with a 65% PPD rating on my lower right leg. I can not return to my previous job and am in school learning a new trade. The IC has been great about weekly checks and covering all medical and school needs. My question is, they called me last week to offer a settlement of 90k, I know this is low but what should I expect or accept in the form of money from them. My last job paid $15.50 an hour and I just enrolled in school and have 2 years left to get my degree. I may need one more surgery and medicine for pain and arthritis in my ancle joint. I'm not trying to get rich off this settlement just make up for the past two years and get some security until I'm doen with school. One last thing, I believe this is for a C and R settlement with no stimp. Any advice would be great or if you need more info I'll be happy to provide what I can. Thank You
