How do I reinquish my workers comp. rights for a settlement?

If you read my guide on the "3 ways to settle your workers compensation claim" it should provide you with the insight you are looking for. This guide was written with California Workers Compensation law in mind but may be applicable to your state.

In California if you are no longer working for the employer or if the same employer changes insurance companies you are generally permitted to obtain what is called here.. A compromise and Release of the claim. This will give you a lump sum buyout of your remaining permanent disability and a negotiated amount for future medical care.

Check with your local workers compensation appeals board with the information officer.

Good Luck...
