If you have a lawyer, you should discuss all settlements with him/her. Or you could hire a lawyer for a second opinion.

Not sure what your question really is, and I'd be happy to talk to you. However, please note that only a Judge can close out a case forever. Its called a "Section 20" lump sum settlement, and has to be approved by the Court. All I do is Workers Comp. Feel free to call me at (908) 359-0110. Todd Wachtel, Esq., Levinson Axelrod
