After a Workplace injury, you just want to get on with your life.
How long do workers comp settlements take and when will you get those funds?
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, employers reported 2.5 million injuries and illnesses in 2023. While some of these injured workers may have recovered quickly and had no issues, others had to fight for their workers’ comp benefits.
Pursuing a legal case against the workers’ comp insurance company is never a step that anyone wants to take, but it’s sometimes a necessity, especially if your case has been denied. You need funds to pay for medical bills, lost wages, and future healthcare expenses.
So when you’re dealing with a workers comp claim, you probably have two pressing questions:
- How long do workers comp settlements take?
- How long after workers comp settlements do I get paid?
