Re: Workmans' comp

at any time. as a practical matter, the Insurance Carrier will probably be likely to deal after your case is picked up at the six month mark. that way your injury is fairly serious and it will have been time to get something done. the timing of a C&R or the now largely defunct Commutation depends on when the parties are motivated to settle. if the carrier's personnel think they can beat you, they will just terminate or suspend benefits.

good luck
