My husband received a work related injury to his knee, meniscus torn, went on L & I, had surgery last nov. he had his impairment rating and concurrence with his physician, rating as 10% whole body. 2 months ago he tore his other meniscus on his other knee (not at work, just walking) we believe it was from the stress put on his good knee compensating the bad knee. L & I found out he was going to have surgery and told him if he did not continue with vocational services he may not get anthing from them, he decided against the second surgery...so now, will he get a settlement for his first injury covered on L & I, and if so when? it has been since Aug. when he had the imparement rating, they changed claims managers and the new one is really mean and threatened he may get nothing because of the other knee, is this legal?
