What types of settlement are available?
Workers’ compensation settlements are designed to compensate you for your disability resulting from an on-the-job accident. In most instances, injured workers receive temporary disability benefits during the period of time they are rendered temporarily totally disabled by their primary treating physician. The type of settlement you are entitled to is unique to the specific facts of your case, but two common options include:
•Stipulations with Request for an Award. You may enter into a stipulated finding and award, in which all parties agree to the terms of the award and future medical care remains open.
•Compromise and Release. You may dispose of your case by way of Compromise and Release. This results in a lump sum payment and ends the opportunity for future medical care.
