Can you sue a worker's comp company after your claim has been paid?

What would you sue them for?
If your claim has been satisfied, you have no grounds for taking them to court.
Of course, if you are dissatisfied you could always make representations to the company who paid your claim. Maybe they will reconsider. However, it is likely that they will have already asked you to sign an agreement that you would accept their settlement figure as full and final settlement of the matter. If you have already signed such an agreement, you have signed away your right to contest the matter further.
But if you haven't signed a 'full and final settlement' agreement, and if the settlement received is less than you are legally entitled to, or your claim is for something else that has not yet been settled, you can sue for anything that is still due to you.
If you feel that the settlement you have received is inadequate, seek independent legal advice.
They will be able to advise you ...
(a) if you can sue or not
(b) if it would be in your best interests to sue
(c) of the probabilities of your pursuing a successful claim, and
(d) of the possible extra costs involved in taking such action.

There are 2 answers here - if you have filed a workers comp claim and are waiting for it to be approved YOU can elect to use any sick leave/ vacation leave you have - BUT your employer can't just take it without your permission IF your claim has been approved- you should be receiving benefits from comp monthly IF your not Ans your claim has been approved you need to find out why!! Your sick leave has nothing to do with comp benefits. However if you elect to use your sick leave then your employer must reinstate the amount you used or pay you for it.
