Re: Do I get a settlement after there is nothing more they can do for me
Nothing in this world is automatic, and I strongly encourage you to contact an attorney to represent your interests. Nevertheless, the simple answer to your question is: if you were injured and permanently disabled as a result of a work-related injury, you are indeed entitled to compensation. Whether that compensation is structured as a "settlement" is something that you really need to discuss with an attorney.

The Worker's Compensation law is, like all government entities, is complicated. You must first make a claim for injuries. You must also document your treatment. You must have a final disability evaluation. Then you submitt to settle the case or go for a hearing before the Worker's Compensation Commission. To do all this, you need a lawyer knowledgeble in Worker's Compensation law, like myself.
