I need to get out of workmans comp. If I take a settlement will I be able to use blue cross to treat the same injuries that put me on workmans comp My lawyer told me to tell blue cross it is a different injury. I think he is not honest with me?

Your lawyer is working for you; but you have to understand he is a lawyer because he chose that profession to earn a living. If he takes your case and tries to persuade you to avoid a settlement and goes for the ultimate win, you will receive a larger cash award. The larger cash award for you the larger cash award for him. He is your lawyer and has your interest at heart but he would rather eat a lobster dinner than burger or steak tonight. Do you get it?


When is it ok for an attorney to sign your name to a settlement check?

Usually it never is, unless you give written authorization to do so.

It is important that you accept the check either by signing it or authorizing your lawyer to sign for you.
