Re: worker compensation question
You can settle your case for a lump sum at any time before or after the 104 weeks. The two year limit is only a limitation on temporary disability benefits, not permanent total disability benefits, and certainly not medical benefits. when you consider a lump sum settlement you must look at the future lost wage exposure as well as the value of the future medical care. Feel free to email or call if you have additional questions.
