Hello. My name is Tom Wilken. I’m a Pennsylvania workers’ compensation attorney. I’m here to answer the question of, “is settlement in my best interest?”

The answer to that is, “it depends.” That answer is as individual as the person asking the question. Where you are in your life, what you’re able to do, whether or not you’re a Social Security recipient, the terms of the settlement including whether the insurance company wants to settle your weekly checked portion and your medical benefits, are all things to consider prior to settlement, and this should be considered well in advance of settlement.

Workers’ compensation is designed to, well, not wipe the board clean totally, and give you a completely fresh start, but rather to give you a good leg up on trying to get on with your life.

Should you have any questions about this or any other workers’ compensation question, please feel free to contact us.
