Tampa Workers' Compensation Settlement Attorneys
If you or a family member is struggling through a workers' compensation case, it is wise to have an experienced lawyer on your side. Negotiations can be lengthy and complicated, and are best handled by a firm that has gone through them before.
At Petruccelli Mason, LLP, our lawyers have more than 18 combined years of experience guiding clients through the workers' comp process. We strive to educate our clients about the legal process and the challenges they might face, including any rights they might be giving up in the settlement.
Settlement Versus Trial
Most often, we see settlements reached in workers' comp matters. The parties, including the injured worker and the employer's insurance company, work together to reach a fair number that is agreed upon. Having an experienced attorney involved in the case is an integral part of the process, as your lawyer will always be protecting your best interests, while moving the process forward.
A settlement cannot be ordered by a judge of compensation claims. Both parties must agree on the terms of the settlement. Sometimes a settlement resolution will involve just the issues at hand, and sometimes the entire case will be settled. In these cases, the employee typically will receive a lump sum of money, and the carrier is no longer responsible for lost wages or medical bills in the future. It is our goal to guide you through this process by mediating your needs.
