In a Georgia workers compensation case only resolves at settlement. There will never be a judge or jury who will slam down his gavel and order the other side to pay you a large final judgment. Settlement is volumtary. If the employer/insurer does not want to settle, your Georgia Workers Compensation case won't settle, if you don't want to settle, your case won't settle.
Settlement can be handled through mediation. Mediation is when all the parties get together and discuss the value of the case and attempt to reach a resolution.
Some cases settle with what is called open medicals (that's where you are allowed to get medical care for a limited amount of time after settlement). some with closed medical care.
I tell my clients that workers compensation cases are like apples on a tree, there is a right time to pick the apple. You don't want to settle too early, you don't want to wait too long.
Knowing when to settle your case and how much to settle for is an art. We can tell you what your case is worth and when it is ready to settle. If you want to settle your case for full value, call a qualified Georgia Workers Compensation Lawyer
