The value of your claim is determined by statute and depends mainly on the kind of injury and the extent of any permanency. There are two ways that a workers' compensation claim can be settled. The first kind is a settlement agreement written on a form provided by the Industrial Commission and the other is what is commonly called a clincher agreement. The main difference between the two involves your right to future benefits because of a change of condition within two years after the last date you received a check. In the IC form, your right to possible future benefits is preserved. In the clincher agreement, this right is waived in exchange for an additional sum of money.
Settlement of a workers' compensation case can be complex, especially if there are return-to-work issues. Before you sign anything, you should consult Law Offices of Butts and Johnson.
