A: There are a few different types of Iowa Workers' Compensation settlements available after a severe work injury.

The settlement options include:

full communication;
partial communication;
agreement for settlement; and
compromise settlement.

If you have suffered serious injuries in the workplace, you should speak with a Des Moines Workers' Compensation attorney before you agree to a settlement. Your attorney may be able to negotiate a Workers' Compensation settlement that will maximize your potential benefits.

Overview of Iowa Workers' Compensation Settlements

When you meet with your Des Moines Workers' Compensation attorney, you will be given a full explanation of each of the following settlement types:

Full communication - this Iowa Workers' Compensation settlement provides you with a lump sum payment of benefits. Your employee will avoid having to pay any future medical expenses. For approval, you will have to show that a lump sum will be in your best interest.
Partial communication - this is a lump sum payment of only a portion of your future benefits. You will be entitled to disability benefits and you will retain your right to future benefits.
Agreement for settlement - in this Iowa Workers' Compensation settlement, parties can agree on the extent and amount of compensation. You will still have a right to seek future benefits.
Compromise settlement - this kind of settlement is filed when there is a dispute about whether you should receive benefits. If approved, you will not have rights to future benefits related to the settled injury.

Since Iowa Workers' Compensation settlements can be complex and settlement structures vary, it would be beneficial to have a Des Moines Workers' Compensation attorney guide you through the process.
