Settling Your Case: A Few Considerations

Under workers’ compensation law, you can opt for a one time payment referred to as “Compromise and Release.” While there are a number of considerations that must be taken into account, we’ll explain the advantages and disadvantages and ensure you have the information you need to make an informed decision. Should you opt for Compromise and Release, or a “Commutation of Wage Benefits” you are required by law to create a Medicare Set-Aside Trust which we will be happy to establish for you.

We have the legal experience and knowledge needed to explain workers compensation, evaluate how it could impact other areas of your life, and take steps to ensure your best interests are both served and protected.
