Your father should ask to review all final medical reports from his attorney. He also needs to look at the actual Whole Person Impairment ratings and the actual ratings that his attorney came up with. He should ask his attorney to tell him to break it down so he understands how his attorney is evaluating his case in terms of value. Your father has a right to speak to another Workers Comp Attorney/s for a free consultation and have them evaluate his case. Your father is not obligated to sign until he understands his settlement. Good luck!
