Workers' Compensation Settlements in Fresno & Visalia
Workers' Compensation Lawyer Helps You Get Your Rightful Compensation
In California, there are various types of workers' compensation settlements,
including:
- Stipulated Finding and Award
- Compromise and Release
- Medicare Set-Aside Trusts
Stipulated Finding & Award
Stipulated Finding and Award is an agreement that includes decisions that
a judge could have made at trial. It is entered into voluntarily by both
sides: the injured and the insurance company adjuster. The case is rated
with the use of a disability chart that establishes the value of the disability.
Disability payments will then be made bi-weekly until the entire amount is paid.
Compromise & Release
A Compromise and Release settlement will completely end the case. If you
are being represented by our workers' compensation attorney, he can
negotiate a total settlement value of your case. The settlement is based
on the level of permanent disability that is indicated by the medical
reports. In this case, one lump sum will be paid to the injured worker.
If you pursue this route, it is important that you secure the representation
of our firm's lawyer to ensure that you receive a fair settlement.
In some cases, the insurance company will need Medicare approval, which
can further complicate your case.
