Re: jones act
It may help if you weren't represented by counsel when you verbally accepted the offer. If you've been injured, you shouldn't settle until you get a prognosis from a doctor about whether the injury will affect you for the rest of your life or not.
If you do have an attorney, you should be discussing these issues with your attorney, not on Law Guru.

Well, you should hire an attorney to hire these questions for you. It sounds like a matter that is important to you. A lot depends on the specifics of your agreement. I would not be telling anyone that you made an agreement and make it easier for them to prove.
