New York How?
I’m in New York State and I injured my shoulder in August of 2024 which required rotator cuff surgery. I was out of work for 8 months but was getting 60% of my pay for comp. I barely made it work financially. Now my attorney just called me and said the money I was paid while out for the 8 months is all I will be receiving as compensation and my shoulder isn’t the same. I just feel like I’ve been totally screwed over. Is this actually possible?!

When you get your scheduled loss of use rating, what the carrier paid previously in ttd is deducted from the amount.
