Legal Question in Disability Law in Massachusetts

Disability Discrimination Settlement

If you win a disability discrimination lawsuit, are you liable for paying back a settlement that was previously won for worker's compensation, and also, are you responsible for paying back social security disability benefits? It is my understanding that these are separate from the disability discrimination lawsuit.. can you advise? Thank you..

Your attorney for the discrimination suit would be the person to answer these questions.
