Just need to know if their offer is fair to close the claim totally out I have a 2 percent impairment for whole body using class 1 diagnosis they want to settle that and settle any future medical care they have offered me a total of 9500 dollars
1 ANSWER
2% is a fairly minimal rating. For 2% alone, $9500 is pretty good.
However, the insurance company also wants your future medical care settle. The question is whether you still have residual problems and whether you are still under care.
I recommend having a heart-to-heart with your orthopaedist as to your prognosis. Based upon what your doctor tells you, you can then make a reasonable decision on settlement.
