I received your message on 9-14-2000.
Normally, you should be compensated according to a schedule. It would be my recommendation to get a WC attroney. The fees are small and paid out of any award by the comp. carrier so that you do not pay their bills.
If you need a WC attorney, please contact me and I will recommend some for you.
Good Luck.
