It's impossible to answer most of your questions w/o knowing the facts. If you were denied work comp and your lawyer appealed, the chances of the carrier offering you money to settle before the appeal is decided are very slim. You should be asking these questions to your lawyer. If he won't answer your questions, or if you don't have confidence in his answers, get a new lawyer!
