Re: medical assessment
The answer to your questions depends upon information you did not supply (ie: how was the orignial claim concluded). I suggest that you go back to the attorney that represented you originally. He/she will have the background information to adequately address your question.
You may have waived all future benefits or you may have medical benefits for life (for the injury).
