Description

Most lawyers are aware that the majority of lawsuits settle at mediation. (1) Interestingly, in Florida, the workers' compensation judge of compensation claims (JCC) may consider only workers' compensation cases that have been mediated. (2) Consequently, a large number of workers' compensation matters settle rather than proceed to trial. (3) This article explores the law governing enforcement of workers' compensation settlements, as well as methods to maintain an enforceable agreement that will not be vacated. Upon reaching an agreement in a workers' compensation matter, it is common for a preliminary summary of settlement terms to be approved by the parties. It is tempting to consider the mediation a success at this point. However, a successful mediation and settlement agreement is one which ends all disputes. Unfortunately, once a case has "settled" at mediation or through other informal negotiations, disputes often arise as the parties attempt to formalize and finalize their preliminary agreement with documents containing lengthier and more specific terminology.
