Workers’ Compensation Settlements in Michigan
Educating Clients on Their Options
When a Michigan employee suffers a work-related injury, that worker is entitled to compensation for the costs that arise from that injury, including lost wages, medical care and treatment related to your injury, and vocational retraining in the event that you are unable to return to your job. In most cases, a worker receives worker’s compensation benefits voluntarily. Most injured workers return to work with the same employer and do not suffer permanent disabling injuries. However, a significant number of claims are disputed for a variety of reasons. In these cases, and in cases where benefits are ongoing, it is possible to negotiate with the employer and its insurance carrier for a lump-sum settlement. In Michigan, this is called a “redemption of liability.” Our Michigan attorney at Adler Firm, PLLC can help you understand these terms and how they may apply to your workers' comp claim when you call.

Avoid the Lengthy Claims Process
If a claim is disputed, the workers’ compensation process is lengthy and difficult for most injured workers, often including an initial application, medical examinations, stopped or delayed benefits, and a lengthy hearing process.
Many clients want to avoid the difficult workers’ compensation process by negotiating a settlement of the claim. In a workers’ compensation settlement in Michigan, an injured party typically gives up the right to receive any further benefits in exchange for a lump-sum settlement. This can include past and future lost wages, medical care, and vocational rehabilitation.
