Benefits Available to Ohio Injured Workers: Lump Sum Settlements | Toledo, Ohio Work Injury Lawyer

In certain circumstances, the employer and the Ohio injured worker may enter into a settlement agreement to compensate the worker for injuries sustained on the job. The settlement, though, must be approved by the BWC, regardless of whether the employer is state-funded or self-insured. The BWC settlement department determines whether the settlement agreement is justified and fair.
An injured worker should be careful before agreeing to a lump sum settlement because it will stop him from seeking additional compensation through the BWC. It closes the door for all payments for future compensation and future medical treatment related to the claim.
