Atlanta Workers’ Compensation Settlement Lawyer: Secure Your Lump-Sum Payout

Last updated on October 15, 2026

A serious workplace injury disrupts your income, your health and your family’s stability. At the Law Office of Perry Dean Ellis, P.C., we have represented injured workers throughout Atlanta, Fulton County and metro Atlanta for more than 30 years. Insurance adjusters might try to push low settlement offers once you near maximum medical improvement (MMI). Our workers’ comp settlement attorneys know how to build strong cases and pursue the maximum financial recovery for you.

How Are Workers’ Comp Settlements Calculated In Georgia?

Georgia workers’ comp settlement amounts depend on:

  • Your MMI status
  • Your permanent partial disability (PPD) rating
  • Your future medical needs

When you accept a lump-sum workers’ comp settlement in Georgia, you surrender your right to ongoing weekly indemnity benefits and future medical care. That is why it is important to have our Atlanta workers’ comp settlement lawyers calculate the full lifetime value of your claim. This includes any Medicare Set-Aside (MSA) account requirements under CMS guidelines. We make sure that you do not sign a weekly indemnity cash-out or a no-liability compromise settlement that leaves you with less than you deserve.

Does The Georgia State Board Of Workers’ Compensation Have To Approve My Settlement?

Yes, all settlements require formal approval under O.C.G.A. § 34-9-100. You cannot finalize a Georgia workers’ comp cash-out agreement without executing Form WC-110 (Stipulation and Agreement with General Release). The State Board of Workers’ Compensation, located at 270 Peachtree St NW in Downtown Atlanta, reviews every lump sum agreement to ensure compliance with statutory guidelines. Our workers’ compensation team can draft and review your Form WC-110 to protect your interests before submitting it to the Board.
