Michigan Workers’ Comp law, regardless of who is at fault, protects employees and employers in Michigan, aiming to cover all medical treatment and 80% of after-tax wages.

Lump-Sum Workers’ Compensation Settlements

Many of our clients choose to settle their workers’ comp into a one-time lump-sum cash payment, called a redemption. This redemption must be approved by a magistrate. In order to maximize this payout, we need strong medical and vocational evidence conveying the long-term impact of your work related injury. Here at the Law Offices of David Zimmerman, we excel at maximizing the lump-sum payout through building a case to improve your final outcome. Let’s dive in to see how we can maximize your case.

Evidence

Medical Evidence:

• Utilize private health insurance to continue treatment if your comp claim ends up being disputed
• Make sure your doctor is documenting your treatment, needs, and work restrictions
• Medical records conveying continuing disability that is directly related to your work injury boosts your settlement potential

Vocational Evidence:

Insurers will try and reduce your benefits based on what your theoretical job opportunities look like, and try to say you are only partially disabled.

• Challenge these reports in court
• Document and convey you have attempted a good-faith job search to convey you cannot realistically get hired
• Proving and conveying a limited employability will raise your case value

With the combination of documentation and our help here at the Law Offices of David Zimmerman, we can make sure you get the money you deserve.
