Does anyone know anything about permanent disability?
Advertisements [?]
My husband injured his knee on the job back in 2009 and we just got a rating from the doctor. He said that it is a 10% permanent disability. The restrictions he placed on him rules out so much that I don't know what he can do other than sitting behind a desk (which he has no desire for or experience).

The doctor said he is at risk for meniscus tears and arthritis in the future. There is also a 4% whole person disability...whatever that means.

We're not sure what all this means for him. It actually has us worried. The income took a huge hit in the first place when he got hurt.

Does anyone have a clue?

Thanks.
