Settlement agreements may be appropriate in claims of disputed validity or when the parties' interests are served by payment of benefits in a manner different than otherwise prescribed by the workers' compensation laws. However, settlement agreements must also fulfill the underlying purposes of the workers' compensation laws. Once approved by the Commission, settlement agreements are permanently binding on the parties. The Commission will not approve any proposed settlement that is manifestly unjust.
