Bilal Kassem, President and Cofounder of Pacific Workers, breaks down the possibilities and limitations of undoing a workers' comp settlement. Unfortunately, in most cases, once a settlement is signed and finalized, it’s like buying a car in California—there's no cooling-off period. But, what if there were circumstances that could allow you to reconsider your decision?
 
The reality of workers' compensation settlements is that they are typically final. Once you’ve signed off on a settlement and it’s been approved, what's done is done. Many of Bilal’s clients, or potential clients, approach him after they’ve already settled, feeling they’ve made a mistake. They want to undo everything and start over again. However, in general, the answer is no—you can't simply change your mind.
 
Though changing your mind after a workers' comp settlement is generally not an option, understanding the nuances and potential exceptions can make a significant difference. If you feel your condition is worsening, it's imperative to seek legal advice promptly. The team at Pacific Workers are here to help you navigate these challenging circumstances.
