A "good" workers' compensation lump-sum settlement (often structured as a Compromise and Release) is subjective, but it generally represents a fair financial amount that fully covers projected future medical treatments, necessary vocational rehabilitation, and reasonable compensation for permanent impairment or lost earning capacity. Because settling permanently closes your claim and waives future medical rights, a favorable settlement is one vetted by an experienced attorney or actuary to ensure it adequately safeguards your long-term financial security.
