In many cases, your Aventura workers compensation attorney can negotiate with your employers insurance carrier to obtain your workers compensation benefits in one lump sum payment rather than in continuous payments. Approach this situation with extreme caution, however. Insurance companies like to save money whenever they can and may try to offer you a lump sum that is less than what you need in order to cover your medical expenses and make up for lost wages. Negotiating a settlement with the insurance company is something best left to an experienced attorney.
