Am I entitled to settle my workers' compensation case?
You are entitled to settle all or part of your Georgia workers' compensation case; but if you are going to 
settle, we recommend seeking a settlement that leaves your medical benefits open for future treatment. Insurance companies prefer to close claims in their entirety, so if you are going to close out your right to future treatment, you should probably feel confident that your settlement will be enough to cover your anticipated future medical needs.
Insurance companies frequently offer unfair settlements to unrepresented individuals who, in many cases, don't know that their cases are worth much more. For this reason, we recommend that you contact an experienced workers' compensation attorney who can evaluate your case and help you obtain a fair settlement of your case.

What your workers' compensation case is worth will depend on a number of factors such as: how you were injured; who caused your injuries; what types of injuries you suffered; how much time you've missed from work and how much time you expect to miss from work in the future; whether you've received sufficient medical treatment for your injuries, and whether and what kind of medical treatment you'll need in the future; and whether any of your injuries are permanent and, if so, whether your authorized treating physician has issued a permanent partial disability rating..jpeg)
