One thing I advise very strongly before you settle is to make sure you have what is called an "open file" which is what the wc company has to pay for the rest of your life. That is what they would have to cover pertaining to your rsd whether it be docs visits, surgery, meds. etc. That is the biggest thing with me because it does get rather expensive. I have been fighting since 2003, settled out once, then wc renigged on what we settled on so we are now fighting again. If you don't have health ins. you will probably have a very difficult time getting it. I was denied 3 times in 1 summer because of my rsd. So please try to make sure to settle at least with an "open file". It will be one of the best things you will have done. Take care and good luck.

Sincerely,
Tracy
