Can workers' compensation claims be settled?
Workers’ compensation claims can be settled. Sometimes workers can settle their entire claim for an agreed amount of money. Sometimes there is a partial settlement in which workers retain their right to future medical benefits but give up the rest of their claim rights. All settlements must be approved by the workers’ compensation board.
