Attorney Jack B. Katz
Can Help You Get a
Lump Sum Settlement of Your Pennsylvania Workers' Compensation Claim

• Have you been receiving workers’ compensation benefits for a long time?

• Can you and your family make better use of one, lump sum check, instead of continuing to receive weekly checks?

• Has the insurance company contacted you directly and proposed settling your workers’ comp case?

• Are you tired of being obligated to the insurance carrier and the Workers’ Compensation Law?

• Are you receiving pension or Social Security benefits and don’t understand whether they will change the amount you receive in workman’s comp benefits-or if you take a lump sum settlement?

     Client  Questions
These are some of the questions clients ask – and these
are very important questions. In many cases injured workers may be able to receive a lump sum to settle their claims. Attorney Jack B. Katz – “The Pennsylvania Workers’ Compensation Settlement Attorney” – has represented thousands of injured workers and knows how to obtain the largest possible settlement for his clients. Jack Katz understands how insurance companies look at workers’ comp claimants, and uses that knowledge to get the best settlements possible.

Attorney Jack Katz will ask the important questions, including:

• Does the settlement cover all of your
wage losses?

• Does the settlement include your future medical bills?

• Does your settlement provide the financial security you
and your family needs?

• If you are receiving or have applied for Social Security Disability benefits, does the settlement include the necessary language Social Security and Medicare require?

The value of workers’ compensation claims varies, regardless of who is at fault, but one thing does not. Having a lawyer on the side of the injured worker can be the difference between a small settlement and one that protects a worker for many years, or even for life. Of course, every case is different, and you need a lawyer who will work with you to make sure that all of the information necessary is presented to the insurance company so that you receive the biggest possible settlement.

     Court Approval Required
Remember, in Pennsylvania, a Workers’ Compensation Judge must approve all settlements by injured workers. These hearings are called “Compromise & Release” or “C&R” hearings, but the Judge only determines whether the injured worker understands the terms of the settlement. The Judge does not decide whether the settlement was fair. As a result, you should settle your claim only after consulting with Attorney Jack B. Katz, who has been negotiating workers' compensation claims for many years.
