What is Maximum Medical Improvement and how will it affect my return to work?
Maximum Medical Improvement (MMI) is a worker’s compensation term describing the best your doctors expect your condition to get following your injury and full course of treatment. You might be lucky enough to make a full recovery and be able to put the entire injury episode behind you. If you are not so fortunate, you may have either Permanent Partial Disability or Permanent Total Disability, and you will receive a permanent disability award.
