Who will pay for my medical care after I settle my case?

It depends. If you closed out your claim at the time of settlement, you likely will be fully responsible or any medical treatment you receive after your settlement is approved by the State Board of Workers' Compensation.
On the other hand, if, at the time of settlement, you left medical benefits open, the insurance company should authorize any treatment you need for your work-related injury. That said, the insurance company may deny payment of future medical treatment if you suffer a new accident after your settlement or if your condition gets worse as a result of work activities that you perform for a new employer.
Before you settle your workers' compensation case, we strongly recommend contacting an experienced workers' compensation attorney who can make sure that you receive a fair settlement and help you maximize your recovery.
