If you decide to accept a settlement with your company’s workers’ compensation insurance, you can pursue the following options:
- Accept the weekly permanent disability payment that the insurance company offers
- Go to trial with the insurance company to seek more money, whether it is a higher lump sum or weekly payments
- Avoid the stress and hassle of waiting for and attending a hearing
- The insurance company may offer you money in exchange for benefits you may never use, like future surgeries for a hand injury
