Certainly, you are entitled to a settlement for the permanency of your injury - especially if you've had a surgery. Typically, for an injury with a surgery, you will be entitled to a percentage loss of use of the body part that could range from 20% to 35%, depending on many factors. An attorney can review your medical records and help you settle for the maximum amount. I would be happy to provide you with a free consulation if you'd like. Feel free to contact me at 630-759-7000.

Yes, and there may be other benefits you are entitled to other than the lump sum.

Please call should you wish to discuss with a lawyer who practices in the field of workmen's compensation.

All best,
