A:
A: No party, meaning you or the insurance company can be forced into settlement. However, knowing the right time to settle can be difficult without the advice and help of a experienced workers’ compensation attorney. For instance, once an injured worker has received medical treatment and has reached MMI (maximum medical improvement) he/she will have more of an understanding of what the future holds with respect to his injury. However, several factors play a role in determining the timing of settlement. MMI is only the beginning.
Some other issues that are taken into consideration in maximizing your benefit may be a PPD (permanent partial disability) rating, permanent work restrictions and ongoing medical treatment. The need for Vocational Rehabilitation Benefits can also effect the settlement value of a case. These issues play an important role but of course maximizing the potential financial expense to an insurance company can greatly encourage an insurance company to want to settle a claim.
