Workers Compensation Settlement Considerations
Summary
When settling a workers compensation claim, consider medical expenses, lost wages, and permanent disability benefits. A lawyer cannot determine your lifespan or guarantee court outcomes. If your lawyer is unhelpful, seek a second opinion or contact the Alaska Workers Compensation Board for a hearing. Legal aid organizations in Alaska may offer free or low-cost assistance.Full Conversation
