Northville Workers' Compensation Lump-Sum Settlement Attorney
Michigan Job Injury Claim Lawyer
Negotiation of workers' compensation lump-sum settlements is a highly technical area of workers' compensation law. Although many workers' compensation lawyers may say they are qualified to handle negotiations for workers' compensation lump-sum settlements, you should carefully review the attorney's qualifications before choosing a lawyer to represent you in lump-sum payout negotiations.
In Michigan, lump-sum payouts are called redemption.
The Northville and Ann Arbor workers' compensation lump-sum settlement lawyers at The Corriveau Law Firm have been handling complex job injury claims since 1976. Our attorneys understand the stress and strain that a major work injury places on an entire family, and we use all our legal skills to negotiate full and fair disability benefits settlements.
What Are Lump-Sum Payouts in Workers' Compensation Cases?
Workers' compensation cases based on serious disabilities — especially those that are going to have a long-term payout due to permanent disability — may proceed to a resolution or settling called redemption. A redemption is when the injured worker and the workers' compensation insurance company negotiate a lump-sum payment instead of continuation of weekly workers' compensation payments.
The redemption amount includes all future medical expenses and a compromise regarding the total number of weeks of workers' compensation wage reimbursement the worker would be entitled to.
No specific laws or regulations govern how lump-sum payouts should be structured, which means the quality of the redemption settlement will directly relate to the skills and experience of the attorney who negotiates it.
