Western Pennsylvania Workers' Compensation Attorneys
At some point after you file a workers' compensation claim, the insurance carrier may offer you a lump sum settlement. Should you take a lump sum settlement if it is offered?
It depends. In some cases, it can make sense, while in others you are better off continuing to receive monthly benefits. A third option is that you may want to accept a lump sum payout of lost wages, but elect to continue to receive workers' compensation medical benefits. These financial and medical issues deserve careful consideration before you accept a lump sum workers' compensation settlement.
