You need to hire an attorney who will file a WCAB application. It seems that you still need treatment and you will need to continue treatment and receive temporary disability benefits until doctor issues a P & S report. Feel free to call us at 213.388.7070 if you need representation.

Based upon what little information you provided in your question, and assuming that you do not have an attorney, the defense will most likely send you to a defense QME to lower your permanent disability in order to avoid paying you any real money at the end of your case. With that, they will proceed to offer you a settlement to buy out your claim or a stipulation which pays future medical. I will be glad to get more into detail if you contact me at 818.385.0520. The consultation is free.
