You are in pain and the money is gone. The workers compensation insurance
company wants your recovery to be on the fast track. This is when you feel the
most pressure.
The healing process for most injuries is slow and gradual. You will receive
conflicting advice from many sources regarding how much physical therapy you
really need.
The greater your recovery from your injury, the more your disability rating will
drop. You would think that the insurance company would want you to have all of
the physical therapy that would benefit you. Unfortunately, many of them do not.
Quality medical care and therapy are expensive. The workers compensation
insurance company may offer you a larger settlement if you waive on-going
medical care. You must agree in writing that the amount of the compensation
settlement is a full settlement for your claim and job related injury, including
all future medical benefits.
If you settle your claim by way of Compromise and Release, you will receive one
lump sum payment that covers all medical, disability and income issues. You
release the Workers Compensation Insurance Company and your employer completely
from future liability under this scenario.
If you settle your case by way of Stipulation and Award you may leave your
medical treatment benefit open for life.
We realize that you are financially vulnerable at this point. We also know what
the future holds for you if you cannot return to your same employment.
