My son was hurt on the job in Michigan and is receiving workman's comp under the Longshore&Harborworks act. This was a very, very serious hand crush injury.
We retained a lawyer for a third party suit, as there was negligence involved
My question is this: Will my son have to pay back workman's comp (partially or fully) if he gets a settlement from this third party?
I asked our lawyer and he said in MN (where my son presently resides) a person wouldn't have to pay back workman's comp if they got a settlement. My understanding is that LHWCA is federal and isn't under state regulations.
Is there any place I could just go look this up??
