Settlements
With Workers’ Compensation settlements, your settlement amount will be agreed upon by all parties. If the parties cannot agree to a settlement amount, the Judge will intervene and decide based on the medical evidence, such as Qualified Medical Evaluator (QME) reporting and other factors. Lump sum settlements are meant to cover areas such as permanent disability (PD) and estimated future medical care (FMC). We are here to proudly represent you and to maximize your benefits.
