In addition to your disability rating, you are entitled to future medical that may include surgery that can be expensive. There are other issues like apportionment that can change the final rating. If AME doctor recommended surgery $100,000.00 is a reasonable settlement demand. To get maximum settlement, you need an experienced attorney.
