The initial injury report should be done within 30 days of the incident. The Claim for compensation shoudl be done within 6 mos of the injury. The time to settle after that is often determined by the nature of the extent/nature of the injury and recovery. If one settles before they have reached maximum medical recovery, they are may be gambling with their financial future. The attorney representing the injured worker can explain this all to you.
Good luck
