Cash Settlement

Demand Lump Sum Money

At any time, you may seek a cash settlement instead of continuing workers' compensation benefits. Many people find a lump sum of money more helpful than periodic benefits, especially when they are behind in their bills. At the Law Office of Louis B. Lusk, our lawyers will represent you during negotiations for a cash settlement during a workers' compensation dispute.

There is room for negotiation during the cash settlement process. Disputes about the amount of potential liability, and the severity of your injury, all play a role in the resolution of your claim. For help in pursuing the settlement you deserve, contact us, in Atlanta, Georgia, for a free initial consultation.

Obtaining a Cash Settlement

If you need immediate cash, instead of workers' compensation benefits, consider seeking a cash settlement. Attorney Lusk will organize a settlement package and send a settlement demand to your employer's insurance company. We outline the reasons why your case is worth the amount demanded, providing reasons why your employer should settle.

Using our firm's experience in obtaining workers' compensation benefits, we will pursue a fair settlement offer. We may also file a request for cash advance with the State Board of Workers' Compensation. As long as your case has some value, you can request a cash advance.

Here are some reasons why you would not want to seek a cash settlement in lieu of workers' compensation benefits.

• You are unsure about your chances of recovery following a surgery
• You receive a low settlement offer from your employer
• Future medical conditions could arise that workers' compensation would cover

It is our job to look out for your best interests. We will advise you of the appropriateness of seeking a cash settlement in lieu of workers' compensation benefits with the goal of maximizing your potential recovery under workers' compensation.
