if i settle...

[rob1121]

if i settle my comp case will i ever be able to have my injuries attended to by medicaid or another employer...
my lawyer is making it seem like once i settle my injuries are my own responsibility... is this true? what if i fall again at a different job and re injure the same areas???
does anyone have any insight on this?
because the IC is really putting pressure on me to settle and it feels like if i dont i may miss out... i do have some permanant restrictions but i feel like i could do very light work... maybe some sort of factory job... someone talk to me here lol..

a re-injury is a new claim; refile and benefits begin with the new employer.
medicare won't pay for treatment for which you received treatment $$ in your settlement.
