When you are awarded workers' compensation benefits, you may be able to pursue compensation and benefits for an extended period of time, possibly even the rest of your life. Instead of keeping your claim open, however, you may be interested in settling your claim, i.e., ending your claim in exchange for a one time lump-sum payment. If you are interested in settling your claim, our office can help you take steps to maximize the value you receive in compensation.
It is also possible that your employer or workers' compensation may try to avoid your involvement in the system, by offering you a settlement. This is simply an offer. If you do not take the settlement, you are still eligible to receive your workers' compensation benefits. Some people need the money immediately, though, and want the one-time payment to cover medical bills and lost wages.
With the assistance of a skilled workers' compensation lawyer, you stand a better chance of getting the results you need.
