Can I Get a Cash Settlement for a Work Injury in Pennsylvania?
Are you entitled to a cash settlement for your PA workmens comp case? Absolutely. But only if the insurer/employer is ready to negotiate with you. You cannot settle a case on your own, of course. Sometimes the employers/insurers in Pennsylvania workers comp cases would rather pay you your weekly or bi weekly checks, instead of a lump sum payment.
Make sure you have an experienced Workmens comp lawyer in Philadelphia assisting you in your negotiations. There are many pitfalls to doing it on your own.
It’s also important to note that all Pennsylvania Workers’ Compensation Settlements must be approved by a Workers’ Compensation Judge at a hearing. Also, each case is different so it’s a good idea to avoid comparing your case to that of another injured worker. There are many factors which determine a fair settlement value.
We Have Secured Large Cash Settlements on Behalf of Clients Injured at Work
Attorney Michael W. Cardamone, Founder and President of Cardamone Law, and a Certified Work Comp Attorney Specialist in Pennsylvania, has secured a $190,000.00 offer for his client who sustained injuries to her spine from work-related activities.
Negotiations lasted several months and reignited once the case was put into litigation by the work comp insurer who claimed Cardamone’s client had made a full recovery. Claimant’s physicians, and Claimant herself, vigorously disagreed with the allegation of a recovery, and Cardamone was able to secure a victory at the outset of the case called “Supersedeas”. That victory gave Cardamone leverage in the negotiations.
