Re: Ame verses treating doctors oppinion.
As an AME is agreed on by both parties (you and defendant), the AME decision should be binding in the decision as to disability, injured worker status, etc.
The argument will be on the permanent disability rating.
If you have been determined a "Qualified Injured Worker," you are also entitled to Vocational Rehab benefits.
Hopefully, you have an attorney who should be able to explain this in more detail.
Good luck...
