[QUOTE="Newfire, post: 1085770, member: 45603"] Hello all, I am a new member to this site and a 26 year fulltime inside employee from Ohio. This is my first attempt at a post so bare with me and please help me if make some mistakes. I suffered a possible career ending knee injury and been on comp for 10 months ever since microfracture surgery was done to try and repair a broken tibia plateau and severe meniscus damage. Originally, injury was in 2009 Ups paid for MRI, cortizone steroid shots, and some therapy, that went on for over 15 months until the knee completely broke down then they said no to surgery. I hired attorney after 8 months of stress and bull sh## and ups folded and gave the ok for surgery. Anyway the advice I need from any ups'ers is if ups won't accomodate me with some form of job duties for me to return to work with a partial disability rating and some job restrictions issued by the knee surgeon will HR and/or our self insured provider try to offer me a settlement to leave the company? My attorney is a highly rated worker comp specialist but i'm not sure he wants to go after a large settlement against ups. Maybe it's just me and my stress thinking that but he says to just ride it out. Any previous experience's or info would be greatly appreciated. [/QUOTE]
