What Are Tax-Free Settlements for Florida Workers’ Compensation Claims?

In Florida, injured workers who have been approved for workers’ compensation benefits can settle their claims tax-free. A settlement is an agreement between the injured worker and their employer or the employer’s insurance company to resolve the workers’ compensation claim. The settlement amount is negotiated between the parties and is typically paid in a lump sum.

You can use the settlement amount to cover medical expenses, lost wages, and other expenses related to the injury. It is important to note that once a settlement is reached, your right to future workers’ compensation benefits is waived.

Getting advice from an experienced Florida workers’ compensation attorney is crucial when it comes to taking a settlement. The workers’ comp attorneys at Van Dingenen Law will be happy to sit down with you to help you understand the issues involved in accepting a settlement. We want to protect your rights and ensure that you’re getting the compensation you are entitled to.
