Legal Question in Workers Comp in Virginia

All workers' compensation settlements in Virginia are voluntary so it is up to the insurance company as to whether or not they will settle your lifetime medical benefits. Whether those benefits have any value will depend upon how much you have been using them. The less you use them, the less the value of settlement. The more you use them, the greater the value but that raises the question as to whether settlement of these benefits is in your best interests. You need to consult a qualified Virginia attorney on this question before you attempt to settle lifetime medical benefits.
