A: you need to do both. seek the advice of another doctor, consider a med mal case and go for PTD if you cant reasonable return to suitable gainful employment due to the injury. if you have past injuries or any other health conditions, an SIBTF case should be considered as well. call an experienced work comp attorney for a free consultation.
