Re: what rating to expect
You can expect the rating to be rather low because it is determined according to the Florida Guides, which were written by politicians whose only concern was keeping workers' compensation costs down for the businesses that contributed to their campaigns. A lot depends on measurments of loss of movement. If a fracture heals without residual loss of movement, don't expect a rating. Possible arthritis in the future? Don't expect a rating. Even high ratings aren't worth much money anyway.
