In terms of workers' comp., there isn't much you can do. The insurance company is obligated to pay you, and to mail checks to your address, but that's all they are required to do. A check can always be cancelled and reissued if it goes missing, but that's about... View More

the settlement should include a Hatman Formula proration of the lump sum payout, otherwise your SSDI will be impacted significantly. Also, since you are permanently totally disabled, you should be considering an SIBTF filing for lifetime payments to supplement the SSDI and once you're at... View More
