Wondering about this

[rbl1222]

About 2 years I got a call from this guy wanting to help him finish a job at a commercial building.On the 2nd day(sunday)I fell and broke my wrist and elbow.This guy would not take me to the E.R Instead he left and came back with a bag of ice and a pint of brandy.About 2 hours later I got to the e.r.To make a long story short about 3 months later I recieved temp benefits and therepy for 16 months.On friday Oct 16th I was awarded 45k (sec.20 N.J).My question is even though the ins.co agreed on this settlement can they still not pay me or appeal this?

if they negotiated the settlement and then the judge approved it they would have no grounds to object unless the terms were changed.
if the judge made a decision then it can be appealed.

It was a really bad situation.At the time I was waiting to go back to my regular job.I did not file for u/i.As a result of this I lost my job.This guy who I helped did not have insurance.I had to sue the G/C who I never even met.I was off the books.The problem was the injury was so severe I had to prove I was at this place.Of course they said I was not.It was a compound fracture of my wrist.The guy I was helping tryed everything to discredit me.(all he had to do was bring me to the er and I would not have sued).Anyway your saying that it can be appealed on a term change.I have a copy of form wc(DO)-370(R-7-04) order approving with dismissal N.J.S.A 34:15-20 State of N.J signed by respondents attorney,petitioners attorney,judge of compensation and mine.Like I said,if they agreed at court I think I sould get my settlement.I dont owe any child support or any liens.I think they are upset since this case was settleld even without going to see thier doctor.Plus the relative short time that it took.My lawyer was on it.I know they have 60 days to pay me in N.J I think the insurance co telling me that their gonna take their time because just out of vengence.

I was wondering once the workers comp carrier agrees on a settlement do the have the right to reneg on it.I agreed to thier offer,however I took a lump sum in which I agreed to never reopen the claim.They did not want to pay me benefits in the first place since I called out the the blue to help finish a job in a commercial building in NJ.The guy who I helped did not carry ins.Due to the severity of the injury I had to sue the general contractor who was doing everything to stop the claim.I sustained a compound fracture or my wrist.Since this happened on a sunday,I had to prove I was actually there.The guy would not take me to the e.r. saying he did not need the problem.He did however leave me a bag of ice and a pint brandy for my trouble.Just his way of making me look like I was wasted when this happen.Nice guy huh?2 years later 3 operations later and the stress which was uncalcuble.I got the court order approving everything.Sounds like they have to pay up.I did not go to trial.Im still waiting for my check
