You need to ask your attorney. The value of a case depends in part on what work restrictions there are as to what part of the body and how long before your condition reaches a level of maximum improvement. Since I do not know a single one of those factors, it is impossible to say how much your case is worth. If you are going to have surgery, the WC carrier is not going to make a settlement offer until you recover from the surgery.
