Lisa, I'm not a lawyer, but you definetly don't want to sign off on WC without full knowledge of what they are liable for. How long have you had RSD and sounds like you got it at work. I've had it 15 years-the meds add up. What started as a shoulder issue is now full body and internal. I've been hospitalized -semi icu with $35,000 plus bills. I can't work. I'm on meds that affect my mind, memory. I have crippled hand-50% useage I'm uninsurable because of RSD.Have internal organ involvement. What I'm saying you won't -don't know what the future will bring. Disaster financially for many of us. Some have gotten life long medical care!!!! I wasn't hurt at work, my RSD came following surgery, but wasn't diagnosed for 4 years.
If you go with an attorney, get a good one, familiar with RSDi-medical malpractice-one that represent insurance companies. It's rough in the legal system, but a very good attorney can earn their money.
Have you consulted with anyone? My daughter is a court reporter and I've been in court a few times-there isn't always justice.
Hope the best for you. One of yoour new friends,Joyce.
