Workers Compensation Attorneys Protecting the Rights of Employees in Pennington, Lawrence, East Windsor, Ewing and across Mercer County, NJ
There are two types of settlements in a workers’ compensation court. We have what is called an order-approving settlement and an order-approving settlement with section 20. If there are issues as to causation, jurisdiction, liability, there is an agreement that the parties can reach, – it is called the section 20 resolution because that is the section of the workers’ compensation statute which allows parties to negotiate a resolution, which upon payment of an award dismisses the case with prejudice. It is without accepting liability on the part of the insurance carrier/employer and then it allows the injured employee to receive some money, thus not requiring them to go to trial in which they can receive no money at all.
