Hello, I have been following PF for a while now, and greatly appreciate everyones help and information that I have used and shared over the past. Now to the reason I am posting:
My mother had a stroke around September 2017. She was at work at the time of the stroke, and has been working with a workers comp insurance agency since the incident. From the information I have been told, it sounds like they have been advocating for my mom, and working their best to give her sufficient support, and have been paying for her medical expenses as well as a portion of her original monthly pay.
Now, about six months later, they are offering her a settlement, to not return to her job. She says that she will be getting health care insurance through medicaid. So if she is going to be getting health care, and she doesn't know when she will be better, or when she will be well enough to return to her job, what are her best options?
Is her best option most likely to take the settlement? What kind of questions should she be asking? Or should I be asking her? Is there someone she should be hiring to help in this situation? Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all for your time!
edit: Thank you everyone for your advice and input. I will look into get a consultation with a lawyer and go from there. Thanks again!
