Re: Settle or not to settle
Depending upon the nature of your worker's compensation claim, you might be well advised to consult with an attorney. There is no doubt that an attorney can obtain more compensation for you than you can obtain on your own, even after considering the attorney's fees. I'm not sure what your question is, but you may call me at the office if you do not have an attorney. I will be happy to refer you to an expert in this field who will be able to advise you.
