What is the name of your state?I live in Iowa. I am a 45 year old female. I was injuried at work. My right foot was injuried and broken. I was wondering what kind of settlements I would be entitled to. I have had 3 surgeries on my foot. My rating evaluation follows. When you evaluate the impairment of nerve defects, a 4% total impairment nerve rating with the 2% impairment rating for the joint, problems with degenerative joint disease and limited motion equals a total of 6% based on the chart. I also still have pain in my foot all the time. I am seeing a pain management Dr. I am having 1 injection in my foot once a week for the next seven weeks and maybe periodically thoughout my life. As well as possibly more surgeries.

You can call a lawyer and talk to him/her on the phone for free and tell them you would like to find out about a cash award total since you have some im rating's...Also your injection's you are getting once a week they are not cortizone are they? you don't have to say what the shot's are it's just you can only have 3 shot's of cortizone in the same spot for your whole life cortizone may help with pain but over time it tears down cartlidge,muscle

Call a work comp lawyer and tell them you would like to ask a few question's about a cash award you don't have to give them your im numbers you can just throw some out there near your to get an idea.......
where i live what you posted was a %20 total im rating that would only be about $25,000 not including if the doctor might say you will have arthritis or possible fusion of ankle later on in life if those are possibity's your cash award could be higheror lower depending on what doctors say
