When you're injured at work, the road to recovery can be challenging—not just physically, but financially. If you're considering a workers' compensation settlement, it’s essential to fully understand your rights and the potential impact on your future. Our firm specializes in guiding injured workers through the settlement process, ensuring they receive the compensation they deserve.

​

Why Settle a Workers’ Compensation Claim?

A workers' compensation settlement allows you to receive a lump-sum payment or structured settlement in exchange for closing your case. While settlements can offer financial certainty, they also mean giving up certain future benefits. Settling might be right for you if:

​

• You want to avoid ongoing litigation.

• Your condition has stabilized, and future medical expenses can be estimated.

• You need immediate financial relief for your medical bills, lost wages, or other costs.

​

Types of Workers’ Compensation Settlements

Settlements can take various forms, depending on the nature of your case and your goals:

​

• Full and Final Settlement: This resolves your entire claim, including medical and wage benefits, typically through a lump-sum payment.

• Indemnity-Only Settlement: This covers wage loss compensation while leaving the medical portion of your claim open for future treatment.

• Structured Settlement: This involves periodic payments over time rather than a lump sum, providing ongoing financial support.​
