Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Compromise and release is a legal term used to describe the settlement of a workers' compensation case for permanent disability. It is a voluntary agreement between the employee and employer/insurer where the parties agree to a lump-sum payment in exchange for the release of any future claim for the injury. The other options (withdrawal and discharge, relief of duty, surrender and release) do not accurately describe this type of settlement.
