Reached settlement
For a little context I worked for a municipality when injured at work. My attorney recently sent me settlement paperwork for the mid 6 figures. I have a cervical laminectomy at 3 levels, which will require a fusion in the future, I also have unresolved shoulder issues from the injury. Part of the settlement is no further work comp benefits for future care, or surgeries will be paid. So no future benefits. I have ongoing pain, and go to pain management for my neck and shoulder. I feel like if my attorney felt he could do better, he would have taken it to trial. Is this average? Or am I being unrealistic?
