Re: workers comp payments

Absolutely, if you had a schedule loss of use. Your friend may have had a "PPD" or a "PTD" or maybe a "lump sum settlement" or a "Section 32" settlement.

Next time, I would not question your workers' compensation lawyer. This site is for people who are not represented by lawyers.
