How Does Settlement Work For Workers’ Comp In Pennsylvania?
A settlement is an agreement between the injured worker and the Employer and insurance company (or third party administrator which is like an insurer but it doesn’t spend its own money) to resolve 1) wage loss benefits and 2) medical benefits under the Pennsylvania Workers’ Compensation Act.
Settlement can happen any time the parties reach an agreement. Recently, mediations are becoming more common. A Mediation in a PA Work Comp case is a meeting with a Judge to try to settle the case.
All settlements in Pennsylvania Work Comp cases have to be approved by a Work Comp Judge at a hearing.
