A Pawtucket, Rhode Island man received a $300,000 workers’ compensation lump sum settlement for an injury he suffered on the job. He sustained several back injuries after a motor vehicle collision while driving for work. As a result of this, he required medical intervention and was unable to continue working. He contacted our office shortly after being seen at the hospital. Following that call, d’Oliveira & Associates began gathering information and handling his claim. Our firm maintained joint responsibility with a law firm specializing in workers’ compensation law. Together, we ensured our client received the compensation he deserved.
What is a Lump Sum Settlement?
Lump sum settlements are only available to workers who have very serious injuries and are unable to return to their former job. Rather than receiving regular payments for medical bills and lost wages while you are unable to work, the company pays a set amount upfront. In exchange, you will have to give up your right to all future workers’ compensation benefits. This settlement amount can be paid in a single lump sum, or individuals can opt for a structured settlement. All lump sum settlements must be approved by the Rhode Island Workers’ Compensation Court, and there are pros and cons to receiving a lump sum settlement. Contact d’Oliveira & Associates to determine whether a lump sum settlement is the correct path for you.
