What is Commutation?

Commutation is an order by a Workers' Compensation Administrative Law Judge for a lump sum payment of part or all of your permanent disability award. Payment can be made to either the injured worker or the injured worker's attorney. This order can only be requested after you have either settled your case with a Stipulation with Request for Award or received a Findings and Award.
