make w/ccover your future medical and future meds before settling. does your state offer retraining, if so they usually pay for 2 years of schooling including expenses for scholl and housing=about $65,000 for 2 years(check into it).
your body is worth $177,000 according to w/c. so a 10% rating gets you a check for 17,700.
some states allow you to sue to company for( )i forget the word, but it means the company is liable to make payments to you monthly for a determined time(some for lifetime) and i hear the check is about the same as you currently make. this depends on where you live and how you got hurt and an awesome attourney.
good luck,
