Can I settle my Texas Worker’s Compensation case?

Can I settle my Texas Worker’s Compensation case? This is a question often ask. For better or worse, Texas law generally prohibits what we traditionally think of as settlements in Worker’s Compensation cases. The right to lifetime medical care is baked into the law and you cannot bargain that away. however, there are some provisions in the law that allow for negotiation and allow for either accelerated or lump sum payment of benefits, or provide for benefits to be paid out without dispute if the benefits are compromised on a settlement form.
