A: You are still entitled to reasonable and necessary medical care only. If you have not had an impairment rating and/or it's still within 90 days, you could challenge the rating and obtain a higher rating. I don't know if you have other injuries, that would qualify you for lifetime income benefits because enough facts have not been supplied. I will assume the foot is your only injury for now.
