The WC carrier will offer you some additional money to settle the medical issues, but as a former WC defense attorney I would recommend against accepting it unless you know for sure that you will never need any further medical treatment or that you will always be covered by medical insurance for that injury, or they offer a ton of money. In general, none of those will be true.
You can not be fired for suffering an on the job injury, but your employer does not have to create a special job for you.
