Description
An employee has a right to compromise his claims which are not cognizable under the Workers Compensation Act in a settlement with a third-party tortfeasor. If the employer is notified of such settlement negotiations and if the employee demonstrates that the resulting settlement compromises only damages not recoverable under workers compensation or allocates the settlement into recoverable and nonrecoverable claims, the employer cannot credit the nonrecoverable portion of the settlement against compensation payments. In this case, the employee demonstrated that the settlement did not affect the employers subrogation rights.
