Legal Question in Workers Comp in Pennsylvania

Re: workers compsettlement

If the settlement you entered into was what we call a Compromise and Release (C&R) Agreement, & you received a lump sum payment, & you are no longer receiving weekly or other regular wage loss payments, you can take whatever job you want without being required to pay back the settlement money. You can take a job from your old employer or a new employer. If you can get a job that you want take it.

Re: workers compsettlement

better to return to the previous employer at a position titled differently with some different job duties. if you had a commutation, which is the way things used to be done, there would be a supplemental agreement indicating 500 weeks of partial disability. you probably did not commute, since the law was effectively gutted by gov ridge and the republicans by Act 57. therefore, if u only have a C&R, what's to stop you. tell your friends to get gruntled.

Good Luck.
