WILL RETIREMENT EFFECT MY WORKERS’ COMPENSATION RIGHTS?

Yes. There is a special tougher definition of disability for retirees that became effective January 1, 1982. Employers may also be able to take an offset for what they pay in a pension. Because of this, it is important for workers to contact our law firm which specializes in representing injured workers to negotiate a settlement of their workers' compensation rights before they retire. If your doctors believe your injuries affect your ability to work, you may have leverage to negotiate a settlement.
