Settling A Workers' Compensation Claim
Determining the settlement value of your Georgia workers’ compensation claim for settlement purposes is no easy task. In doing so, you must consider three things: your entitlement to future income benefits (TTD or TPD), your entitlement to Permanent Partial Disability (PPD) benefits, and the cost of future medical treatment. Many individuals attempt to negotiate a settlement directly with the insurance company. However, given the complex nature of the Georgia workers’ compensation system, and the fact that most insurance companies are only concerned with their bottom line, it is a good idea to discuss your claim with an attorney before you agree to a settlement. Brian Sumrall has negotiated hundreds of settlements in workers’ compensation claims.
