First, you should not settle your claim without consulting a lawyer. The 18% impairment rating is not the end of your case so if that is all they are offering you, they are really not offering you anything you are not already entitled to receive. The other question is: what exactly are you doing now? Are you receiving your pre-injury pay? Are you on light duty restrictions? The answers to these questions make a difference as to the potential value of your claim. You really need to discuss this with an attorney. If you have any questions about how to get this information please call.
