Re: workers comp
First of all, if you received an award from the Commission, you have presumably already received, or are receiving, permanent partial disability benefits. So the only thing left to settle would be the value of your ongoing medical benefits, if you are prepared to give them up. Since you appear to be in a long term care program with no end in sight, this would probably be a bad idea.
