Coordinating Benefits
Workers' Compensation/Social Security/ERISA Claims
Many clients we represent come to our firm as a result of a work-related injury. Whereas many law firms might limit their focus to worker's compensation, we consider a wide range of benefits that may be available to our clients, including:
- Workers' compensation benefits
- Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI)
- Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
- Short-term and long-term disability insurance
- Unemployment compensation
- Social Security retirement benefits
There is an overlap between these different forms of government and private insurance benefits. When an injured worker receives one form of benefit, his or her ability to recover other benefits may be limited due to offsetting credits.
When you settle a work comp case, there are techniques that can be used to take advantage of different forms of available benefits. This is particularly true for employees already on Social security disability and older employees who may be reaching the age of eligibility for Social Security retirement benefits.
A lump sum workers' compensation settlement is just one method that may enable you to increase your ability to maximize recovery. Our firm has extensive experience in a wide range of disability and injury based claims. We use our knowledge to help clients seek maximum recovery in a manner that is prudent and time-efficient.
