Lump Sum Brochure |
 | | First, it is important for you to understand exactly what a lump sum is. A lump sum is a settlement or contract between you, your employer where applicable, and your employer's workers' compensation insurer. |
 | | However, when accepting a lump sum settlement, an employee is presumed incapable of returning to work for the employer, and the presumption continues for one month for every $1,500.00 included in the lump sum. |
 | | Acceptance of a lump sum agreement by all parties creates the presumption that you are physically unable to return to work with your employer. |
