How Is A Workers' Compensation Settlement Determined?

First of all, it needs to be determined whether or not a lump-sum settlement is truly the right option for you. In some cases, it is, in some, it is not. In determining whether to seek a workers’ compensation lump-sum settlement, it is important to realize that without an experienced lawyer on your side, you risk receiving less than you deserve in a settlement.

How is a workers’ comp settlement determined? A lump-sum settlement will provide an injured worker with compensation for past, present, and anticipated wage losses as well as medical benefits. The settlement will be based on factors such as:

• Nature and extent of your injury
• Medical treatments, including anticipated future treatments
• Your wages and/or salary
• Your age
