The value of your case is dependent upon your future medical treatment and how long you will have work restrictions.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&#8221;How long will I receive my benefits?&#8221;]You will receive your medical care as long as the doctor says that the medical treatment you need is related to the work accident.

[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&#8221;Can I choose my pharmacy?&#8221;]Yes. You can fill your prescriptions at the pharmacy of your choice.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&#8221;How are my money benefits calculated?

You are entitled to payment for your medical mileage for going to all medical appointments and trips to the pharmacy.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&#8221;Can I settle my case for a lump sum of money?&#8221;]Yes.
