Legal Question in Workers Comp in California
settlement
What exactly is settlement? If you receive the medical treatment prescribed, ie surgery and physical therapy, are you entitled to an additional pay out afterwards? If so, can the amount be negotiated? And, if injury were to reoccur does that mean that one can no longer seek treatment for that injury if the need were to arise.
