Re: compensation for continuing injury
This is posted under workers' compensation, but you description does not say that it is work related. If this injury occurred at work, you are entitled to up to 60% of your wages, and maybe some additional money for scarring. If this is a workers' comp. matter, you cannot recieve any money for pain and suffering.
Please feel free to contact me if you would like to further discuss this matter.
