Re: workers comp question

As a practical matter, you need to settle the case before moving on to the other job, unless you want to liquidate the medical value only. Once you are in a higher paying position, there is little incentive to the workers' comp insurance carrier to amicably resolve your case. Your attorney will initiate discussion using the magic words if you like. My Office is down the hall from the Altoona Judges' Chambers if I may be of service.

good luck
