Structured vs Lump Sum Settlements in Pennsylvania Workers’ Compensation

In Pennsylvania, employees seeking workers’ compensation may be offered a structured or lump sum settlement. But what does this mean, and what are the benefits of one over the other? Munley Law explains structured vs lump sum settlements in Pennsylvania workers’ compensation.

Workers’ Compensation Structured Settlement

When an injured worker chooses a structured settlement or annuity for workers’ compensation benefits, they agree to payments over a period of time rather than a one-time payment. These payments are often given weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly until the full settlement has been granted.

In some rare cases, these payments may be spread out for years until the recipient’s retirement or death; however, such a plan would require guidance from a Pennsylvania workers’ compensation lawyer.

If the injured employee has long-term medical expenses due to the injury, the employer’s insurance company may also include payments for these future medical expenses. […]
