I just had a Workers’ Compensation trial today for a client who wanted open medical benefits. He had a hand injury and was concerned that at some point in the future he would need medical treatment. The insurance companies want you to settle the case so everything closed out. Good for them. Not so good for you. When you settle, all future medical is your responsibility.
The trial takes a little more work but it preserves your rights to future medical benefits. It is not a perfect system, however, it is the only way to protect your opportunity to get medical benefits. You receive your money and keep your medical in play.
