[QUOTE="coolslice, post: 2771932, member: 50491"] Ok, here is an update on my situation. After 2 weeks, I contacted Liberty Mutual, because I had not heard a word after testing for 5.5 straight hours. In a brief conversation with the claims specialist, she said they valued my disability at around $11.00, which according to state law is multiplied by 425 weeks. This leaves me with a settlement of roughly $4500, which she said will be paid in weekly installments. This is FAR lower than I was expecting, and I have decided that I will not accept it if I am to give up anything at all- and most likely not accept it even if I give up nothing . The fact that they won't even pay it in a lump sum is just a kick in the nuts. IIRC, from what I read about stat law, even a 1% impairment rating would be my weekly income x .065 x 425 weeks. They are sending me the paperwork to review, and she talked like it was a foregone conclusion that I would accept this settlement. [/QUOTE]
