What happens to my LI claim for an injury to my knee, if another doctor determines I cant return to work due to an unrelated injury/disease?
I have an open claim for an injury to my knee and I’m receiving treatment for that injury. I also have spinal issues( degenerative disk disease). I have been told that I can’t return to any type of work by another doctor.

I need a lot more information to advise you. Is this workers comp. or 3rd party? Are you in litigation and do you have a lawyer? How did the accident happen and what type of knee injury did you sustain? Is that doctor hired by the defense or a treating doctor? When was the accident and what kind of work do you do, and how long have you been off work?
