I was just informed that my wisconsin worker's compensation lump sum settlement has to go into an special interest bearing account, I called my attorney but he will not return my phone calls, his legal assistant told me to just wait for the explanation in the mail. Does anyone know what this means, will I have access to ALL of my money right away and why does it have to go into a special account, I'm confused, my attorney never mentioned any of this, he only pushed me to sign the lump sum agreement papers when I was actually leaning towards permanent partial disability payments and leaving my case open for future medical claims. Will there be stipulations on what I can spend my settlement on, the agreement I signed said nothing about stipulations or an interest bearing account.
