Re: right knee injury

It sounds like you have a permanent knee injury, and if so you need to get a disability rating from your treating physician. You could then file for permanent disability benefits through workers' comp. As to the medical bills, if they are related to the work injury the comp carrier (insurance co) is obligated to pay them and if they have not, you can ask for an order requiring that at the same hearing in which you seek disability. You should have engaged an experienced workers' compensation attorney long ago to help you with this; if you didn't, do so right away.
