This is a general answer and may or may not be applicable to your case. Based on the facts you provided, the answer is "NO". Once you settled your claims that is it. No future payments for being "off work." The only thing left is the insurance company paying your medical bills that are a result of your injury and that is ONLY IF IT WAS A WORKERS COMPENSATION CASE and that future medical payments were Ordered by the court to be paid for your lifetime and not settled in the court order. If it was an automobile accident case or similar (not workers comp) then your case is completely resolved and there is no further compensation or medical coverage owed to you.
