18% permanent partial disability rating will trigger a permanent partial disability payment. The amount you will receive will depend on your base comp rate and whether it is your master or non-master arm. At this point in you case, you should be consulting with a lawyer regarding whether settlement is right for you. You case may be worth more than you think, but it is important to do a future benefits analysis to determine value. Feel free to call me at 960-447-3171 x311 or email RMonaco@clsmlaw.com. There is no charge for the initial consultation.
