What are the consequences of a settlement?

Posted on Tuesday, May 18th, 2010 at 10:58 am    

For many people with workers’ compensation disputes, they may not want to take their case to trial. Trials can be both costly and time-consuming.

For this reason, many individuals choose to settle their case. When a settlement is reached, the plaintiff typically will forfeit his right to a trial. However, in some cases, the plaintiff may be able to reopen the case.

If you have questions about a settlement in a workers’ compensation case, contact the New Jersey workers’ compensation attorneys of Levinson Axelrod at 888-389-COMP.
