Re: settlement

Any case can be settled if the party against whom the action is filed will make an offer and you will accept it. Otherwise, no settlement can be reached. Yes, you can settle one part of the case and pursue the other. But there are pitfalls involved. It sounds to me like you need professional assistance. Consult a Florida Bar Board Certified workers' compensation lawyer or personal injury lawyer in your area.
