First, you should not attempt to settle your workers' compensation claim without an experienced Virginia workers' compensation attorney. I assure you, the insurance company will have their attorney involved. Second, Virginia workers' compensation does not pay for pain and suffering. What it does pay for (life-time medical benefits, wage loss, permanent partial disability, etc.) has value but you will not be able to determine the value without competent legal representation. Third, it is possible that a settlement is not in your best interests only 10 months after your injury.
