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.
