Q: What does maximum medical improvement mean for a Mississippi Worker's Compensation accident?

A: In Mississippi, an employee who is injured at work may reach what is called "maximum medical improvement."  Some people may abbreviate maximum medical improvement to MMI. Essentially, what this means is that according to your doctor, you are as good as you are going to get.  You may not necessarily be completely healed and you may in fact need additional medical treatment but, for Mississippi Worker's Compensation purposes, again, you are as good as you are going to get.
