Can I Get My Workers' Compensation In One Payment?
There is no automatic lump sum paid out. You need an employment attorney because you have a statute of limitations issue with the workplace accident if your husband was not the negligent party.
You then need to make sure that a worker's compensation application has been filed at the Workers' Compensation Commission to preserve any time deadline issues with that claim. Workers Compensation claims are 3 years before the limitations period runs out, but it would not hurt nor cost any money to file a formal application.
