Settlements
(Compromise and Release)
Workers’ compensation cases typically involve the payment of wage loss benefits at intervals of every two weeks. Wage loss benefit claims and medical benefit claims may be settled for a one-time lump sum payment by way of a procedure known as a Compromise and Release. Many considerations go into determining whether a settlement is the right thing for you, and, if so, what a fair settlement amount is.
Only an experienced and competent workers’ compensation lawyer can help you answer these questions.
Almost all cases are handled on a contingent fee basis. If there is no recovery, there is no fee.
