Work laws have been created to guarantee that employees who are injured or disabled on the job are provided with fixed or permanent monetary awards, wiping out the need for litigation. However, sometimes companies and private employers undermine these laws and fail to pay the adequate amount of money to those who can no longer work due to injuries incurred while at work.

In 2002, 4.7 million non-life threatening injuries and illnesses were reported in private industry workplaces. This resulted in a rate of 5.3 cases per 100 equivalent full-time workers, according to a survey by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor.

If you or anyone you know has been injured while working on the job and your employer has failed to give you sufficient funds, contact our lawyers. We will handle your case with a high standard of quality.

What is Commutation?

Commutation is an order by a Workers' Compensation Administrative Law Judge for a lump sum payment of part or all of your permanent disability award. Payment can be made to either the injured worker or the injured worker's attorney. This order can only be requested after you have either settled your case with a Stipulation with Request for Award or received a Findings and Award.

Compromise and Release (C&R)

Compromise and release is generally a final settlement of a workers' compensation case where the parties agree on a single lump sum payment. It usually settles all outstanding issues except for future vocational rehabilitation.
