Charlotte Lump Sum Settlement Lawyer

Charlotte Lump Sum Settlement Attorney

At some time during your workers’ compensation claim, the insurance company may offer a lump-sum settlement. The settlement offered may take the form of a one-time cash payment or a structured settlement. If you accept this offer, the insurance company’s responsibilities to you will end, including your medical benefits.

For some injured workers, it can make sense to accept a lump-sum settlement. Others are better off keeping their workers’ compensation claims open so they can continue to receive benefits. Before you make a decision, you should obtain legal advice from a trusted Charlotte Lump Sum Settlement Lawyer.
